More quotes by Jose Saramago
The sun appears in one of the upper corners of the rectangle, on the left of anyone looking at the picture.
Jose Saramago
Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get caught in the throat and can only be read in ones's eyes.
Jose Saramago
Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be, of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt.
Jose Saramago
The best way to killing a rose is to force it open when it is still only the promise of a bud.
Jose Saramago
...you have to leave the island in order to see the island, that we can't see ourselves unless we become free of ourselves, Unless we escape from ourselves you mean, No, that's not the same thing.
Jose Saramago
The only miracle we can perform is to go on living, said the woman, to preserve the fragility of life from day to day, as if it were blind and did not know where to go, and perhaps it is like that, perhaps it really does not know, it placed itself in our hands, after giving us intelligence.
Jose Saramago
It is economic power that determines political power, and governments become the political functionaries of economic power.
Jose Saramago
A journey never ends. Only the travellers end.
Jose Saramago
Every thing in life is a uniform the only time our bodies are truly in civilian dress is when we're naked.
Jose Saramago
The time for miracles has either passed or not come yet, besides, miracles, genuine miracles, whatever people say, are not such a good idea, if it means destroying the very order of things in order to improve them.
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
I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches, copies of copies, until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are.
Jose Saramago
I don't doubt that a man can live perfectly well on his own, but I'm convinced that he begins to die as soon as he closes the door of his house behind him.
Jose Saramago
You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have
Jose Saramago
Without the faintest possibility of finding a job, I decided to devote myself to literature: it was about time to find out what I was worth as a writer.
Jose Saramago
It is strange how the elderly fall silent when they ought to go on speaking, obliging the young to learn everything from scratch.
Jose Saramago
Men are all the same, they think that because they came out of the belly of a woman they know all there is to know about women.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
Jose Saramago
Sleep is a skilled magician, it changes the proportions of things, the distances between them, it separates people and they're lying next to each other, brings them together and they can barely see one another.
Jose Saramago
I can't imagine myself outside any kind of social or political involvement. Yes, I'm a writer, but I live in this world, and my writing doesn't exist on a separate level. And if people know who I am and read my books, well, good that way, if I have something more to say, then everyone benefits.
Jose Saramago
