More quotes by 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
Death is the inventor of God.

As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.

Jose Saramago
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
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
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
I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
A stomach accustomed to hunger is satisfied with very little.
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.
