Jose SaramagoEn ningรบn momento de la historia, en ningรบn lugar del planeta, las religiones han servido para que los seres humanos se acerquen unos a los otros. Por el contrario, sรณlo han servido para separar, para quemar, para torturar. No creo en dios, no lo necesito y ademรกs soy buena persona.

Jose SaramagoI had no books at home. I started to frequent a public library in Lisbon. It was there, with no help except curiosity and the will to learn, that my taste for reading developed and was refined.
Jose SaramagoFor me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me. It is nothing more than this.
