More quotes by Jose Saramago
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
Jose Saramago
anyone who gets up early by inclination or has been forced to rise early out of necessity finds it intolerable that others should go on sleeping soundly
Jose Saramago
The wise man contents himself with what he has, until such time as he invents something better.
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.

You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have
Jose Saramago
Every second that passes is like a door that opens to allow in what has not yet happened, what we call the future, but, to challenge the contradictory nature of what we have just said, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the future is just an immense void, that the future is just the time on which the eternal present feeds.
Jose Saramago
Forgive me if what has seemed little to you, to me is all.
Jose Saramago
It is economic power that determines political power, and governments become the political functionaries of economic power.
Jose Saramago
Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.
Jose Saramago
One cannot be too careful with words, they change their minds just as people do.
Jose Saramago
We never consider that the things dogs know about us are things of which we have not the faintest notion.
Jose Saramago
Death is the inventor of God.
Jose Saramago
There is relationship between sight and touch, something about eyes being able to see through the fingers touching the clay, about fingers being able to feel what the eyes are seeing without the fingers actually touching it.
Jose Saramago
I was a good pupil at primary school: in the second class I was writing with no spelling mistakes, and the third and fourth classes were done in a single year.
Jose Saramago
I don't think it is worth explaining how a character's nose or chin looks. It is my feeling that readers will prefer to construct, little by little, their own character—the author will do well to entrust the reader with this part of the work.
Jose Saramago
Strictly speaking, we do not make decisions. Decisions make us.
