| 17ab74a | What torments people have to go through when they leave the safety of their homes to become embroiled in mad adventures. | José Saramago | ||
| 7890ae6 | si antes de cada accion pudiesemos prever todas sus consecuencias, nos pusiesemos a pensar en ellas seriamente, primero en las consecuencias inmediatas, despues, las probables, mas tarde las posibles, luego la imaginables, no llegariamos siquiera a movernos de donde el primer pensamiento nos hubiera hecho detenernos. Los buenos y los malos resultados de nuestros dichos y obras se van distribuyendo, se supone que de forma bastante equilibrad.. | José Saramago | ||
| 85d504a | the human body is also an organised system, it lives as long as it keeps organised, and death is only the effect of disorganisation, And how can a society of blind people organise itself in order to survive, By organising itself, to organise oneself is, in a way, to begin to have eyes | José Saramago | ||
| e403aed | las viejas fotografias enganan mucho, nos dan la ilusion de que estamos vivos en ellas, y no es cierto, la persona a quien estamos mirando ya no existe, y ella, si pudiese vernos, no se reconoceria en nosotros. | pasado | José Saramago | |
| a036e77 | se nao houvesse tristeza nem miseria, se em todo o lugar corressem aguas sobre as pedras, se cantassem aves, a vida podia ser apenas estar sentado na erva, segurar um malmequer e nao lhe arrancar as petalas, por serem ja sabidas as respostas, ou por serem estas de tao pouca importancia, que descobri-las nao valeria a vida duma flor. | José Saramago | ||

| 14993f6 | 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 hands, we have to guess the winning cards of life, our lives | José Saramago | ||

| de439dc | There are such moments in life: one unexpectedly discovers that perfection exists, that it, too, is a tiny sphere traveling in time, empty, transparent, luminous, and which sometimes (rarely) comes in our direction and encircles us for a few brief moments before traveling on to other parts and other people. | José Saramago | ||

| bc9eb71 | The threat of rain appears to have nothing to do with Joao Elvas's desire to be alone, and one must not forget that, strange as it may seem, some men can spend their entire life alone and enjoy solitude, especially if it is raining and their crust is hard. | solitude | José Saramago | |

| 3d30785 | Los humanos son universalmente conocidos como los unicos animales capaces de mentir, siendo cierto que si a veces lo hacen por miedo, y a veces por interes, tambien a veces lo hacen porque comprenden a tiempo que esa es la unica manera a su alcance de defender la verdad. | José Saramago | ||

Em todo o mundo que este calendario rege andam as pessoas entretidas a debates consigo mesmas as boas acoes que tencionam praticar no ano que entra, jurando que vao ser retas, justas e equanimes, que da sua emendada boca nao voltara a sair uma palavra ma, uma mentira, uma insidia, ainda que as merecesse o inimigo, claro que e das pessoas vulgar que estamos falando, as outras, as de excecao, as incomuns, regulam-s.. | José Saramago | ||

| c32c573 | I'll get used to it. Yes, we often hear it said, or we say it ourselves, I'll get used to it, we say or they say, with what seems to be genuine acceptance, because there really isn't any other way, at least none has yet been discovered, of expressing in as dignified a way as possible our sense of resignation, what no one asks is at what cost do we get used to things. | José Saramago | ||
| c4342b6 | You must have minimalism because every change, any change, has myriad side effects that can't always be allowed for. If the change is too great and the side effects too many, then it becomes certain that the outcome will be far removed from anything you've planned and that it would be entirely unpredictable. | Isaac Asimov | ||

| f58117a | Stoop, then, or you will be beaten to your knees. Stoop voluntarily, and you may save a remnant. You have depended on metal and power and they have sustained you as far as they could. You have ignored mind and morale and they have failed you. | power psychohistory | Isaac Asimov | |
| e5f583b | You're surrounded by people in the waking period, and you feel their eyes and their hopes on you. You can't stand up under it. In the sleep period, you're free. | Isaac Asimov | ||
| f54cce9 | Oh, hell! I can't sleep!" "Neither can I! But I might as well try--as a matter of principle." Twelve hours later, sleep was still just that--a matter of principle, unattainable in practice." | Isaac Asimov | ||
| b9a5390 | All right, Schwartz, tackle my mind now. Go as deep as you want. I was born on Baronn in the Sirius Sector. I lived my life in an atmosphere of anti-Terrestrialism in the formative years, so I can't help what flaws and follies lie at the roots of my subconscious. But look on the surface and tell me if, in my adult years, I have not fought bigotry in myself. Not in others; that would be easy. But in myself, and as hard as I could. | Isaac Asimov | ||
| 002333b | The Imperial forces must keep their hands off, but they find that they can do much even so. Each sector is encouraged to be suspicious of its neighbors. Within each sector, economic and social classes are encouraged to wage a kind of war with each other. The result is that all over Trantor it is impossible for the people to take united action. Everywhere, the people would rather fight each other than make a common stand against the central .. | politics revolution | Isaac Asimov |
