Jose Saramago
En ningún momento de la historia, en ningún lugar del planeta, las religiones han servido para que los seres humanos se acerquen unos a los otros. Por el contrario, sólo han servido para separar, para quemar, para torturar. No creo en dios, no lo necesito y además soy buena persona.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
Globalization is a form of totalitarianism... It is the rich who rule, and the poor live as they can.
Jose Saramago
...this is the way fate usually treats us, it's right there behind us, it has already reached out a hand to touch us on the shoulder while we're still muttering to ourselves, It's all over, that's it, who cares anyhow.
Jose Saramago
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
Jose Saramago
A tree weeps when cut down, a dog howls when beaten, but a man matures when offended.
Jose Saramago
I am a person with leftist convictions, and always have been.
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
When all is said and done, what is clear is that all lives end before their time.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing that is truly free nor democratic enough. Make no mistake, the internet did not come to save the world.
Jose Saramago
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
Jose Saramago
Blessed be the night, which conceals and protects things fair and foul with the same indifferent mantle.
Jose Saramago
