More quotes by Jose Saramago
blindness is a private matter between a person and the eyes with which he or she was born.
Jose Saramago
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
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
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
A stomach accustomed to hunger is satisfied with very little.
Jose Saramago
We use words to understand each other and even, sometimes, to find each other.
Jose Saramago
Reading is probably another way of being in a place.
Jose Saramago
The difficult thing isn't living with other people, it's understanding them.
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 wise man contents himself with what he has, until such time as he invents something better.
Jose Saramago
When I am occupied with a work that requires continuity - a novel, for example - I write every day.
Jose Saramago
It is strange how the elderly fall silent when they ought to go on speaking, obliging the young to learn everything from scratch.
Jose Saramago
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
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
One cannot be too careful with words, they change their minds just as people do.
Jose Saramago
Death ... doesn't take her eyes off us for a minute, so much so that even those who are not yet due to die feel her gaze pursuing them constantly.
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
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
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
Perhaps it is the language that chooses the writers it needs, making use of them so that each might express a tiny part of what it is.
Jose Saramago
