More quotes by Jose Saramago
That is the dream of all novelists-that one of their characters will become 'somebody.'
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
We are so afraid of the idea of having to die... that we always try to find excuses for the dead, as if we were asking beforehand to be excused when it is our turn.
Jose Saramago
Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered
Jose Saramago
Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets. I think what we need is a global protest movement of people who won't give up.
Jose Saramago
Without the faintest possibility of finding a job, I decided to devote myself to literature: it was about time to find out what I was worth as a writer.
Jose Saramago
Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get caught in the throat and can only be read in ones's eyes.
Jose Saramago
As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.

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
anyone who gets up early by inclination or has been forced to rise early out of necessity finds it intolerable that others should go on sleeping soundly
Jose Saramago
Globalization is a form of totalitarianism... It is the rich who rule, and the poor live as they can.
Jose Saramago
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing that is truly free nor democratic enough. Make no mistake, the internet did not come to save the world.
Jose Saramago
If we cannot live entirely like human beings, at least let us do everything in our power not to live entirely like animals.
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
Perhaps only in a world of the blind will things be what they truly are.
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
The best way to killing a rose is to force it open when it is still only the promise of a bud.
Jose Saramago
The wisest man I ever knew in my whole life could not read or write. At four o'clock in the morning, when the promise of a new day still lingered over French lands, he got up from his pallet and left for the fields, taking to pasture the half-dozen pigs whose fertility nourished him and his wife.
