More quotes by Jose Saramago
Death is present every day in our lives. It's not that I take pleasure in the morbid fascination of it, but it is a fact of life.
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
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
Jose Saramago
There are plenty of reasons not to put up with the world as it is, and if the book has any kind of message, I suppose that's it.
Jose Saramago
Each part in itself constitutes the whole to which it belongs.
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
Nothing so tires a person as having to struggle, not with himself, but with an abstraction.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
Jose Saramago
It is economic power that determines political power, and governments become the political functionaries of economic power.
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
Will we ever learn that certain things can be understood only if we take the trouble to trace them to their origins.
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
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
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
The sun appears in one of the upper corners of the rectangle, on the left of anyone looking at the picture.
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
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
We've all had our moments of weakness, and if we manage to get through today without any, we'll be sure to have some tomorrow.
Jose Saramago
As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.
Jose Saramago
When I am occupied with a work that requires continuity - a novel, for example - I write every day.
Jose Saramago
