You 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.
Jose SaramagoThe ear has to be educated if one wishes to appreciate musical sounds, just as the eyes must learn to distinguish the value of words.
Jose SaramagoWords are like that, they deceive, they pile up, it seems they do not know where to go, and, suddenly, because of two or three or four that suddenly come out, simple in themselves, a personal pronoun, an adverb, an adjective, we have the excitement of seeing them coming irresistibly to the surface through the skin and the eyes and upsetting the composure of our feelings, sometimes the nerves that can not bear it any longer, they put up with a great deal, they put up with everything, it was as if they were wearing armor, we might say.
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.
