More quotes by 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
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 so often happens, the thing left undone tires you most of all, you only feel rested when it has been accomplished.
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
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
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
Jose Saramago
The only time we can talk about death is while we're alive, not afterwards.
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
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
As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.
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
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
... that's how life should be, when one person loses heart, the other must have heart and courage enough for both.
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
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
Will we ever learn that certain things can be understood only if we take the trouble to trace them to their origins.
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 am a person with leftist convictions, and always have been.
Jose Saramago
Blessed be the night, which conceals and protects things fair and foul with the same indifferent mantle.
Jose Saramago
