Talk:José Saramago
From Wikiquote
I have created the page of Jose Saramago and working on it. More quotations will be added every day. I am reading The Cave, and I shall read more books by this author. Therefore i suggest that my page be considered prominent. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Riazur rehman (talk • contribs) 10:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- It looks like you actually created a separate article at José de Sousa Saramago. Wouldn't you like to move those quotes to this José Saramago article? ~ Ningauble 18:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

- All the scheming and plotting in the world won't result in something lasting, transcendent. Anything that's authentic, that's real, comes in the form of a gift. Even if by accident.
- Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt.
- I think we are blind. Blind people who can see, but do not see.
- 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.
- Some people spend their entire lives reading but never get beyond reading the words on the page, they don't understand that the words are merely stepping stones placed across a fast-flowing river, and the reason they're there is so that we can reach the farther shore, it's the other side that matters.
- There are times when it is best to be content with what one has, so as not to lose everything.
- This is how everyone has to begin, men who have never known a woman, women who have never known a man, until the day comes for the one who knows to teach the one who does not.
- What kind of world is this that can send machines to Mars and does nothing to stop the killing of a human being?
- Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
- My country is the Portuguese language.
