More quotes by Jose Saramago
That is the dream of all novelists-that one of their characters will become 'somebody.'
Jose Saramago
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
Jose Saramago
If I'm sincere today, what does it matter if I regret it tomorrow?
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
blindness is a private matter between a person and the eyes with which he or she was born.
Jose Saramago
A journey never ends. Only the travellers end.
Jose Saramago
Society has to change, but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought.
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Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets.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
One cannot be too careful with words, they change their minds just as people do.
Jose Saramago
Each part in itself constitutes the whole to which it belongs.
Jose Saramago
Death has no need to be cruel, taking people's lives is more than enough.
Jose Saramago
I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
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
Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered
Jose Saramago
We use words to understand each other and even, sometimes, to find each other.
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
Blessed be the night, which conceals and protects things fair and foul with the same indifferent mantle.
Jose Saramago
There are times when it is best to be content with what one has, so as not to lose everything.
Jose Saramago
The possibility of the impossible, dreams and illusions, are the subject of my novels.
Jose Saramago
This is the effect of panic, a natural effect, you could say that animal nature is like this, plant life would behave in exactly the same way, too, if it did not have all those roots to hold it in the ground, and how nice it would be to see the trees of the forest fleeing the flames.
Jose Saramago
