Jose Saramago
I always ask two questions: How many countries have military bases in the United States? And in how many countries does the United States not have military bases?
Jose Saramago
Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered
Jose Saramago
...we confidently say that it's not worth trying to reach any conclusions merely because we decide to stop halfway along the path that would lead us straight to them.
Jose Saramago
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
Jose Saramago
Every thing in life is a uniform the only time our bodies are truly in civilian dress is when we're naked.
Jose Saramago
Each part in itself constitutes the whole to which it belongs.
Jose Saramago
In a king, modesty would be a sign of weakness.
Jose Saramago
The time for miracles has either passed or not come yet, besides, miracles, genuine miracles, whatever people say, are not such a good idea, if it means destroying the very order of things in order to improve them.
Jose Saramago
God, the devil, good, evil, it's all in our heads, not in Heaven or Hell, which we also invented. We do not realize that, having invented God, we immediately became His slaves.
Jose Saramago
