More quotes by Jose Saramago
When I am occupied with a work that requires continuity - a novel, for example - I write every day.
Jose Saramago
The beginning is never the clear, precise end of a thread, the beginning is a long, painfully slow process that requires time and patience in order to find out in which direction it is heading, a process that feels its way along the path ahead like a blind man the beginning is just the beginning, what came before is nigh on worthless.
Jose Saramago
For me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me. It is nothing more than this.
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
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
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
What kind of world is this that can send machines to Mars and does nothing to stop the killing of a human being?
Jose Saramago
Forgive me if what has seemed little to you, to me is all.
Jose Saramago
Each day is a little bit of history
Jose Saramago
A tree weeps when cut down, a dog howls when beaten, but a man matures when offended.
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
Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets. I think what we need is a global protest movement of people who won't give up.
Jose Saramago
The virtue of maps, they show what can be done with limited space, they foresee that everything can happen therein.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
Jose Saramago
God, the devil, good, evil, it's all in our heads, not in Heaven or Hell, which we also invented. We do not realize that, having invented God, we immediately became His slaves.
Jose Saramago
Liking is probably the best form of ownership, and ownership the worst form of liking.
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
Death has no need to be cruel, taking people's lives is more than enough.
Jose Saramago
In a king, modesty would be a sign of weakness.
Jose Saramago
I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
