Jose Saramago
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
Jose Saramago
Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered

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
