| fda6e4c | Devemos e reparar nas diferencas entre aquele tempo e este tempo, para falar, como para matar, e preciso chegar perto | José Saramago | ||
| b68279c | O mais corrente neste mundo, nestes tempos em que as cegas vamos tropecando, e esbarrarmos, ao virar a esquina mais proxima, com homens e mulheres na maturidade da existencia e da prosperidade, que, tendo sido aos dezoito anos, nao so as risonhas primaveras do estilo, mas tambem, e talvez sobretudo, briosos revolucionarios decididos a arrasar o sistema dos pais e por no seu lugar o paraiso, enfim, da fraternidade, se encontram agora, com fi.. | egoísmo | José Saramago | |
| 5dad1ee | Al ofrecerse para ayudar al ciego, el hombre que luego robo el coche no tenia, en aquel preciso momento, ninguna intencion malevola, muy al contrario, lo que hizo no fue mas que obedecer a aquellos sentimientos de generosidad y de altruismo que son, como todo el mundo sabe, dos de las mejores caracteristicas del genero humano, que pueden hallarse, incluso, en delincuentes mas empedernidos que este, un simple ladronzuelo de automoviles sin e.. | José Saramago | ||
| 92fb64a | Holding the lamb in his arms, Jesus watched the people file past, some coming, some going, some carrying animals to be sacrificed, some returning without them, looking joyful and exclaiming, Alleluia, Hosanna, Amen, or saying none of these things, feeling it was inappropriate to walk around shouting Hallelujah or Hip hip hurrah, because there is really not much difference between the two expressions, we use them enthusiastically until with .. | religion | José Saramago | |
| edeb24e | Jesus lies on his back, holding the end of the cord to prevent the lamb from escaping, an unnecessary precaution, the poor animal has no strength, not only because of its tender age but also because of all the excitement, the constant motion back and forth, not to mention the meager food it was given this morning, for it is considered neither fitting nor decent for anyone, lamb or martyr, to die with a full belly. | José Saramago | ||
| 8edbc46 | com mil diabos, a cegueira nao se pega, A morte tambem nao se pega, e apesar disso todos morremos. | José Saramago | ||
| 782ad7f | The doctor's wife was not particularly keen on the tendency of proverbs to preach, nevertheless something of this ancient lore must have remained in her memory, the proof being that she filled two of the bags they had brought with beans and chick peas, Keep what is of no use at the moment, and later you will find what you need, one of her grandmothers had told her, the water in which you soak them will also serve to cook them, and whatever .. | thrift | José Saramago | |
| 47333c3 | No pretendemos afirmar, con tales razones, que Maria Magdalena hubiese sido, de hecho, rubia, solo estamos conformandonos a la corriente de opinion mayoritaria que insiste en ver en las rubias, tanto en las de natura como en las de tinte, los mas eficaces instrumentos de pecado y perdicion. | José Saramago | ||
| 4704b2f | Mientras pueda, dijo la chica de las gafas oscuras, mantendre la esperanza, la esperanza de encontrar a mis padres, la esperanza de que aparezca la madre de este nino, Has olvidado la esperanza de todos, Cual, La esperanza de recuperar la vista, Hay esperanzas que es locura alimentar. | José Saramago | ||
| d615aec | Al contrario, uno di essi, reputato appartenente al settore cattolico, disse, Ha ragione, signor filosofo, e proprio questo il motivo per cui esistiamo noi, perche le persone conducano tutta la vita con la paura appesa al collo e, giunta l'ora, accolgano la morte come una liberazione, Il paradiso, O paradiso o inferno, oppure niente, quello che c'e dopo la morte ci importa assai meno di quanto generalmente si creda, la religione, signor fil.. | José Saramago | ||

| 58c6fe1 | in the Central Registry there were only words, in the Central Registry you could not see how faces had changed or continued to change, when that was precisely what was most important, the thing that time changes, not the name, which never changes. When Senhor Jose's stomach began to rumble, there were seven | José Saramago | ||
| 4230890 | we no longer live in that fabulous age when the sun, to whom we owe so much, was so generous that it halted its journey over Gibeon in order to give Joshua ample time to overcome the five kings besieging the city. | José Saramago | ||
| 0a79942 | Al contrario di quanto in genere si crede, senso e significato non sono mai stati la stessa cosa, il significato si percepisce subito, e diretto, letterale, esplicito, chiuso in se stesso, univoco per cosi dire, mentre il senso non e capace di starsene tranquillo, brulica di significati secondi, terzi e quarti, di direzioni raggianti che si vanno dividendo e suddividendo in rami e ramoscelli, fino a che si perdono di vista, il senso di ogni.. | José Saramago | ||

| 01375fd | Ontem vimos, hoje nao vemos, amanha veremos, com uma ligeira entoacao interrogativa no terco final da frase, como se a prudencia, no ultimo instante, tivesse decidido, pelo sim, pelo nao, acrescentar a reticencia de uma duvida a esperancadora conclusao. | ensaio-sobre-a-cegueira josé-saramago pensamentos reflexões | José Saramago | |
| e759a31 | the worshipers here are not likely to kill one another, they all offer the same sacrifice, and how the fat spits and the carcasses sizzle as God in the sublime heavens inhales the odors of all this carnage with satisfaction. Jesus pressed his lamb to his breast, unable to fathom why God could not be appeased with a cup of milk poured over His altar, that sap of life which passes from one being to another, or with a handful of wheat, the bas.. | José Saramago | ||

| e84ebed | The only difference between life and death is that the living still have time, but the time to say that one word, to make that one gesture, is running out for them. What gesture, what word, I don't know, a man dies from not having said it, from not having made it, this is what he dies of, not from sickness, and that is why, when dead, he finds it so difficult to accept death. (Jose Saramago, The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis, p 122) | death failure life redemption salvation words | José Saramago | |

| c5d8e45 | Any ironic or irreverent disciple of Voltaire will find it difficult to resist making the obvious remark that, things being what they are, purity can be maintained only so long as there are innocent creatures to sacrifice in this world, whether turtledoves, lambs, or others. | José Saramago | ||

| 00e5824 | Tertuliano Maximo Afonso is greatly in need of stimuli to distract him, he lives alone and gets bored, or, to speak with the clinical exactitude that the present day requires, he has succumbed to the temporary weakness of spirit ordinarily known as depression. To get a clear idea of his situation, suffice it to say that he was married but can no longer remember what led him into matrimony, that he is divorced and cannot now bring himself to.. | history | José Saramago | |
| be7cc2a | Events went on to show that it is not by chance that a prime minister reaches such lofty heights and that, as the infallible wisdom of nations has demonstrated time and time again, each country gets the government it deserves, although it must be said that while it is true to say that prime ministers, for good or ill, are not all the same, it is no less true to say, are all countries. | prime-minister | José Saramago | |
| bf221df | Because philosophy needs death as much as religions do, if we philosophize it's in order to know that we will die, as monsieur de montaigne said, to philosophize is to learn how to die. | José Saramago | ||

| 17cc184 | That's a very fine-sounding word, full of promises and certainties, you say metamorphosis and move on, it seems you don't understand that words are the labels we stick on things, not the things themselves, you'll never know what the things are really like, nor even what their real names are, because the names you gave them are just that, the names you gave them. | José Saramago | ||
| b383ae6 | Quando, de manha, Baltasar acordou, viu Blimunda deitada a seu lado, a comer pao, de olhos fechados. So os abriu, cinzentos aquela hora, depois de ter acabado de comer, e disse, Nunca te olharei por dentro. | José Saramago | ||

| d36599f | she tore a strip from a dish towel in order to make wicks, then returned to the room where the lamp stood, it was going to be useful for the first time since it was manufactured, at first this did not appear to be its destiny, but none of us, lamps, dogs or humans, knows at the outset, why we have come into this world. | José Saramago | ||
| 886f836 | Chorar o leite derramado nao e tao inutil quanto se diz, e de alguma maneira instrutivo porque nos mostra a verdadeira dimensao da frivolidade de certos procedimentos humanos, porquanto se o leite se derramou, derramado esta e so ha que limpa-lo (...) | José Saramago | ||
| 8272eb5 | as cartas de amor sao ridiculas, isto e o que escreve quando ja a morte vem subindo a escada, quando se torna de subito claro que verdadeiramente ridiculo e nao ter recebido nunca uma carta de amor. | José Saramago | ||
| be29830 | Time and time again one has seen, even in people not particularly given to reflection, that the best way of finding a solution is to let one's thoughts drift until the right moment comes to pounce, like a tiger taking its prey by surprise. | patience reflection | José Saramago | |
