Jose Saramago
God, the devil, good, evil, it's all in our heads, not in Heaven or Hell, which we also invented. We do not realize that, having invented God, we immediately became His slaves.
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
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
