More quotes by 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
I don't think it is worth explaining how a character's nose or chin looks. It is my feeling that readers will prefer to construct, little by little, their own character—the author will do well to entrust the reader with this part of the work.
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
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
Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets.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 has no need to be cruel, taking people's lives is more than enough.
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
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
Jose Saramago
Each day is a little bit of history
Jose Saramago
The virtue of maps, they show what can be done with limited space, they foresee that everything can happen therein.
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
Sleep is a skilled magician, it changes the proportions of things, the distances between them, it separates people and they're lying next to each other, brings them together and they can barely see one another.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
Jose Saramago
You know the name you were given, you do not know the name that you have
Jose Saramago
Though I had come into the world on 16 November 1922, my official documents show that I was born two days later, on the 18th. It was thanks to this petty fraud that my family escaped from paying the fine for not having registered my birth at the proper legal time.
Jose Saramago
all stories are like those about the creation of the universe, no one was there, no one witnessed anything, yet everyone knows what happened.
Jose Saramago
The possibility of the impossible, dreams and illusions, are the subject of my novels.
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
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
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.
