Jose SaramagoThe virtue of maps, they show what can be done with limited space, they foresee that everything can happen therein.
Jose SaramagoYou never know beforehand what people are capable of, you have to wait, give it time, it's time that rules, time is our gambling partner on the other side of the table and it holds all the cards of the deck in its hand, we have to guess the winning cards of life, our lives.
