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
The sun appears in one of the upper corners of the rectangle, on the left of anyone looking at the picture.
Jose Saramago
Earthenware is like people, it needs to be well treated.
Jose Saramago
...we confidently say that it's not worth trying to reach any conclusions merely because we decide to stop halfway along the path that would lead us straight to them.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others.
Jose Saramago
When I am occupied with a work that requires continuity - a novel, for example - I write every day.
Jose Saramago
Men are all the same, they think that because they came out of the belly of a woman they know all there is to know about women.
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
Strictly speaking, we do not make decisions. Decisions make us.
Jose Saramago
Each day is a little bit of history
Jose Saramago
The worst pain ... isn't the pain you feel at the time, it's the pain you feel later on when there's nothing you can do about it, They say that time heals all wounds, But we never live long enough to test that theory.
Jose Saramago
With the passing of time, as well as the social evolution and genetic exchange, we ended up putting our conscience in the colour of blood and in the salt of tears, and, as if that were not enough, we made our eyes into a kind of mirror turned inwards, with the result that they often show without reserve what we are verbally trying to deny.
