More quotes by Jose Saramago
It is not pornography that is obscene, it is hunger that is obscene.
Jose Saramago
It takes little or nothing to undo reputations, the merest trifle makes and remakes them, it is simply a question of finding the best means of engaging the confidence or interest of those who are to become one's unsuspecting echoes or accomplices.
Jose Saramago
Will we ever learn that certain things can be understood only if we take the trouble to trace them to their origins.
Jose Saramago
A stomach accustomed to hunger is satisfied with very little.

This is the effect of panic, a natural effect, you could say that animal nature is like this, plant life would behave in exactly the same way, too, if it did not have all those roots to hold it in the ground, and how nice it would be to see the trees of the forest fleeing the flames.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
There are times when it is best to be content with what one has, so as not to lose everything.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
Reading is probably another way of being in a place.
Jose Saramago
Age carries with it a double load of guilt.
Jose Saramago
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Jose Saramago
We live in a very peculiar world. Democracy isn't discussed, as if it was taken for granted, as if democracy had taken God's place, who is also not discussed.
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
In the end we discover the only condition for living is to die.
Jose Saramago
Why did we become blind, I don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
