More quotes by Jose Saramago
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
Jose Saramago
A journey never ends. Only the travellers end.
Jose Saramago
We say Fine, even though we may be dying, and this is commonly known as taking one's courage in both hands, a phenomenon that has only been observed in the human species.
Jose Saramago
With the passing of time, as well as the social evolution and genetic exchange, we ended up putting our conscience in the colour of blood and in the salt of tears, and, as if that were not enough, we made our eyes into a kind of mirror turned inwards, with the result that they often show without reserve what we are verbally trying to deny.
Jose Saramago
... that's how life should be, when one person loses heart, the other must have heart and courage enough for both.
Jose Saramago
A writer is a man like any other: he dreams. And my dream was to be able to say of this book, when I finished: 'This is a book about Alentejo.'
Jose Saramago
Nothing so tires a person as having to struggle, not with himself, but with an abstraction.
Jose Saramago
Chaos is order yet undeciphered.
Jose Saramago
but it is also true, if this brings her any consolation, that if, before every action, we were to begin weighing up the consequences, thinking about them in earnest, first the immediate consequences, then the probably, then the possible, then the imaginable ones, we should never move beyond the point where our first thought brought us to a halt.
Jose Saramago
A stomach accustomed to hunger is satisfied with very little.
Jose Saramago
Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get caught in the throat and can only be read in ones's eyes.
Jose Saramago
The only miracle we can perform is to go on living, said the woman, to preserve the fragility of life from day to day, as if it were blind and did not know where to go, and perhaps it is like that, perhaps it really does not know, it placed itself in our hands, after giving us intelligence.
Jose Saramago
A tree weeps when cut down, a dog howls when beaten, but a man matures when offended.
Jose Saramago
blindness is a private matter between a person and the eyes with which he or she was born.
Jose Saramago
Sleep is a skilled magician, it changes the proportions of things, the distances between them, it separates people and they're lying next to each other, brings them together and they can barely see one another.
Jose Saramago
For human words are like shadows, and shadows are incapable of explaining light and between shadow and light there is the opaque body from which words are born.
Jose Saramago
when you are old and realize that time is running out, you start imagining that you have the cure for all the ills of the world in your hand, and get frustrated because no one pays you any attention.
Jose Saramago
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Jose Saramago
I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.
