Δίκιο έχουν οι σκεπτικιστές όταν υποστηρίζουν ότι η ιστορία της ανθρωπότητας είναι μια ατέρμονη διαδοχή χαμένων ευκαιριών.

...A great night, yes sir, exclaimed one of them licking his chops and another confirmed, Those seven were worth fourteen, it's true that one of them was no great shakes, but in the middle of all that uproar who noticed, their men are lucky sods, if they're man enough for them. It would be better if they weren't, then they'd be more eager. From the far end of the ward, the doctor's wife said, There are no longer seven of us, Has one of you vamoosed, someone in the group asked, laughing, She didn't vamoose, she died, Oh, hell, then you lot will have to work all the harder next time, It wasn't much of a loss, she was no great shakes, said the doctor's wife. Disconcerted, the messengers did not know how to respond, what they had just heard struck them as indecent, some of them even came round to thinking that when all is said and done all women are bitches, such a lack of respect, to refer to a woman like that, just because her tits weren't in the right place and she had no arse to speak of.
José Saramago...Who is that witch, asked the old man with the black eyepatch, these are things we say when we do not know how to take a good look at ourselves, had he lived as she had lived, we should like to see how long his civilised ways would last.
José SaramagoWould you like to hear the latest news, that colonel we mentioned earlier has gone blind, It'll be interesting to see what he thinks of that bright idea of his now, He already thought, he shot himself in the head, Now that's what I call a consistent attitude, The army is always ready to set an example.
José Saramago...There might be a problem, What is that, Minister, We shall find ourselves obliged to put staff there to supervise the transfers, and I doubt whether we will be able to count on volunteers, I doubt whether that will be necessary, Minister, Why, Should anyone suspected of infection turn blind, as will naturally happen sooner or later, you may be sure, Minister, that the others who still have their sight, will turn him out at once, You're right, Just as they would not allow in any blind person who suddenly felt like changing places, Good thinking, Thank you, Minister, may I give orders to proceed, Yes, you have carte blanche.
José Saramago...life laughs at predictions and introduces words where we imagined silences, and sudden returns when we thought we would never see each other again.
José Saramagobonita de um modo indefinível, particular, não explicável por palavras, como um verso cujo sentido último, se é que tal coisa existe num verso, continuamente escapa ao tradutor.
José Saramagoالطينة التي جبلنا منها نصفها خبث ونصفها استهتار
José SaramagoBut truths need to be repeated many times so that they don't, poor things, lapse into oblivion.

e é possível que esta noite, depois de jantar, abra a suite de bach sobre o atril, respire fundo e roce com o arco as cordas para que a primeira nota nascida o venha consolar das incorrigíveis banalidades do mundo e a segunda as faça esquecer
