Jose Saramago
Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.
Jose Saramago
I don't think it is worth explaining how a character's nose or chin looks. It is my feeling that readers will prefer to construct, little by little, their own character—the author will do well to entrust the reader with this part of the work.
Jose Saramago
I am the same person I was before receiving the Nobel Prize. I work with the same regularity, I have not modified my habits, I have the same friends.

Jose Saramago
I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Jose Saramago
The beginning is never the clear, precise end of a thread, the beginning is a long, painfully slow process that requires time and patience in order to find out in which direction it is heading, a process that feels its way along the path ahead like a blind man the beginning is just the beginning, what came before is nigh on worthless.
Jose Saramago
We all have our moments of weakness, just as well that we are still capable of weeping, tears are often our salvation, there are times when we would die if we did not weep - Blindness
Jose Saramago
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
Jose Saramago
Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be, of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt.
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
As so often happens, the thing left undone tires you most of all, you only feel rested when it has been accomplished.
Jose Saramago
a man was on his way to the gallows when he met another, who asked him: where are you going, my friend? and the condemned man replied: i'm not going anywhere. they're taking me by force.
