Jose Saramago
The history of mankind is the history of our misunderstandings with god, for he doesn't understand us, and we don't understand him.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
The possibility of the impossible, dreams and illusions, are the subject of my novels.
Jose Saramago
The church has never been asked to explain anything, our speciality, along with ballistics, has always been the neutralisation of the overly curious mind through faith.
Jose Saramago
The virtue of maps, they show what can be done with limited space, they foresee that everything can happen therein.
Jose Saramago
The ear has to be educated if one wishes to appreciate musical sounds, just as the eyes must learn to distinguish the value of words.
Jose Saramago
blindness is a private matter between a person and the eyes with which he or she was born.
Jose Saramago
Doesn't anybody understand that killing in the name of God only makes Him a murderer?
Jose Saramago
We are so afraid of the idea of having to die... that we always try to find excuses for the dead, as if we were asking beforehand to be excused when it is our turn.
Jose Saramago
If we cannot live entirely like human beings, at least let us do everything in our power not to live entirely like animals.
Jose Saramago
