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
The beginning is never the clear, precise end of a thread, the beginning is a long, painfully slow process that requires time and patience in order to find out in which direction it is heading, a process that feels its way along the path ahead like a blind man the beginning is just the beginning, what came before is nigh on worthless.
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.
