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
That is the dream of all novelists-that one of their characters will become 'somebody.'
Jose Saramago
We never consider that the things dogs know about us are things of which we have not the faintest notion.
Jose Saramago
A tree weeps when cut down, a dog howls when beaten, but a man matures when offended.
Jose Saramago
