More quotes by 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
The best way to killing a rose is to force it open when it is still only the promise of a bud.
Jose Saramago
Each part in itself constitutes the whole to which it belongs.
Jose Saramago
Doesn't anybody understand that killing in the name of God only makes Him a murderer?
Jose Saramago
Reading is probably another way of being in a place.
Jose Saramago
A journey never ends. Only the travellers end.
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
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
En ningún momento de la historia, en ningún lugar del planeta, las religiones han servido para que los seres humanos se acerquen unos a los otros. Por el contrario, sólo han servido para separar, para quemar, para torturar. No creo en dios, no lo necesito y además soy buena persona.
Jose Saramago
I always ask two questions: How many countries have military bases in the United States? And in how many countries does the United States not have military bases?
Jose Saramago
Nothing so tires a person as having to struggle, not with himself, but with an abstraction.
Jose Saramago
For me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me. It is nothing more than this.
Jose Saramago
The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic - the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.
Jose Saramago
The wise man contents himself with what he has, until such time as he invents something better.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
Jose Saramago
As my cat would say, all hours are good for sleeping.
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
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
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
Each day is a little bit of history
