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
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
Jose Saramago
You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have
Jose Saramago
If I could repeat my childhood, I would repeat it exactly as it was, with the poverty, the cold, little food, with the flies and pigs, all that.
Jose Saramago
Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.
Jose Saramago
Such is our need to shower blame on some distant entity when it is we who lack the courage to face up to what is there before us.
Jose Saramago
I can't imagine myself outside any kind of social or political involvement.
