Talk:José Saramago

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)

yes, it should be merged. But i am new in editing. please merge it by yourself.thanks--Riazur rehman 01:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Y Done — I have merged both José de Sousa Saramago and All the Names into this article. ~ Ningauble 16:50, 20 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.

• What kind of world is this that can send machines to Mars and does nothing to stop the killing of a human being?
  • I remember hearing Saramago say this in an interview (possibly with Judite Sousa, in 1998). ~ DanielTom (talk) 23:21, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
