There are those who deny me the right to speak of God, because I am not a believer. And I say that I have every right in the world. I want to talk about God because it is a problem that affects all humanity.

Jose Saramago
Death has no need to be cruel, taking people's lives is more than enough.
Jose Saramago

The only miracle we can perform is to go on living, said the woman, to preserve the fragility of life from day to day, as if it were blind and did not know where to go, and perhaps it is like that, perhaps it really does not know, it placed itself in our hands, after giving us intelligence.
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
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
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
The possibility of the impossible, dreams and illusions, are the subject of my novels.
Jose Saramago
I am a person with leftist convictions, and always have been.
Jose Saramago
Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.
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
The ear has to be educated if one wishes to appreciate musical sounds, just as the eyes must learn to distinguish the value of words.
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
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
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.
