More quotes by Jose Saramago
One cannot be too careful with words, they change their minds just as people do.
Jose Saramago
The church has never been asked to explain anything, our speciality, along with ballistics, has always been the neutralisation of the overly curious mind through faith.
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
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 only time we can talk about death is while we're alive, not afterwards.
Jose Saramago
The worst pain ... isn't the pain you feel at the time, it's the pain you feel later on when there's nothing you can do about it, They say that time heals all wounds, But we never live long enough to test that theory.
Jose Saramago
The possibility of the impossible, dreams and illusions, are the subject of my novels.
Jose Saramago
We use words to understand each other and even, sometimes, to find each other.
Jose Saramago
People live with the illusion that we have a democratic system, but it's only the outward form of one. In reality we live in a plutocracy, a government of the rich.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
Jose Saramago
I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
Why did we become blind, I don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
I am the same person I was before receiving the Nobel Prize. I work with the same regularity, I have not modified my habits, I have the same friends.
Jose Saramago
It takes little or nothing to undo reputations, the merest trifle makes and remakes them, it is simply a question of finding the best means of engaging the confidence or interest of those who are to become one's unsuspecting echoes or accomplices.
Jose Saramago
we would understand much more about life’s complexities if we applied ourselves to an assiduous study of its contradictions, instead of wasting time on identities and coherences, seeing as these have a duty to provide their own explanations.
Jose Saramago
If I'm sincere today, what does it matter if I regret it tomorrow?
Jose Saramago
The wisest man I ever knew in my whole life could not read or write.
Jose Saramago
You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have
Jose Saramago
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Jose Saramago
... that's how life should be, when one person loses heart, the other must have heart and courage enough for both.
Jose Saramago
