More quotes by Jose Saramago
With the passing of time, as well as the social evolution and genetic exchange, we ended up putting our conscience in the colour of blood and in the salt of tears, and, as if that were not enough, we made our eyes into a kind of mirror turned inwards, with the result that they often show without reserve what we are verbally trying to deny.
Jose Saramago
We never consider that the things dogs know about us are things of which we have not the faintest notion.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
Jose Saramago
Each part in itself constitutes the whole to which it belongs.
Jose Saramago
If I could repeat my childhood, I would repeat it exactly as it was, with the poverty, the cold, little food, with the flies and pigs, all that.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
No, there are three people in a marriage, there's the woman, there's the man, and there's what I call the third person, the most important, the person who is composed of the man and woman together.
Jose Saramago
It takes little or nothing to undo reputations, the merest trifle makes and remakes them, it is simply a question of finding the best means of engaging the confidence or interest of those who are to become one's unsuspecting echoes or accomplices.
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
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
Jose Saramago
Perhaps only in a world of the blind will things be what they truly 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
When I am occupied with a work that requires continuity - a novel, for example - I write every day.
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
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.
