Se antes de cada acto nosso nos puséssemos a prever todas as consequências dele, a pensar nelas a sério, primeiro as imediatas, depois as prováveis, depois as possíveis, depois as imagináveis, não chegaríamos sequer a mover-nos de onde o primeiro pensamento nos tivesse feito parar.

I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.
José SaramagoVamos lá, tornou a dizer o velho da venda preta, vamos ao que estava decidido, ou é isso, ou ficamos condenados a uma morte lenta, Alguns morrerão mais depressa se formos, disse o primeiro cego, Quem vai morrer, está já morto e nao o sabe, Que temos de morrer, sabemo-lo desde que nascemos, Por isso, de uma certa maneira, é como se já tivéssemos nascido mortos.
José SaramagoI consider books to be good for our health, and also our spirits, and they help us to become poets or scientists, to understand the stars or else to discover them deep within the aspirations of certain characters, those who sometimes, on certain evenings, escape from the pages and walk among us humans, perhaps the most human of us all.
José SaramagoThe cleaning woman could contain herself no longer, As far as I'm concerned, that's the boat for me, And who are you, asked the man, Don't you remember me, No, I don't, I'm the cleaning woman, Cleaning what, The king's palace, The woman who opened the door for petitions, The very same, And why aren't you back at the king's palace cleaning and opening doors, Because the doors I really wanted to open have already been opened and because, from now on, I will only clean boats, So you want to go with me in search of the unknown island, I left the palace by the door of decisions, In that case, go and have a look at the caravel, after all this time, it must be in need of a good wash, but watch out for the seagulls, they're not to be trusted, Don't you want to come with me and see what your boat is like inside, You said it was your boat, Sorry about that, I only said it because I liked it, Liking is probably the best form of ownership, and ownership the worst form of liking.

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.
José SaramagoThe objectivity of the narrator is a modern invention, we need only reflect that our Lord God didn’t want it in his book.
José SaramagoEvery novel is like this, desperation, a frustrated attempt to save something of the past. Except that it still has not been established whether it is the novel that prevents man from forgetting himself or the impossibility of forgetfulness that makes him write novels.

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.
