More From Jose Saramago
- "I 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."
- "The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others."
- "Society has to change, but the political powers we have at the moment are not enough to effect this change. The whole democratic system would have to be rethought."
More In Travel
- "Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years."― Herman Hesse
- "It’s rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don’t operate that way."― Jim Garrison
- "If you travel to the States… they have a lot of different words than like what we use. For instance: they say ‘elevator’, we say ‘lift’; they say ‘drapes’, we say ‘curtains’; they say ‘president’, we say ‘seriously deranged git.’"― Alexei Sayle
