“Old photographs are very deceiving, they give us the illusion that we are alive in them, and it's not true, the person we are looking at no longer exists, and if that person could see us, he or she would not recognise him or herself in us, 'Who's that looking at me so sadly,' he or she would say.”
― José Saramago, All the Names

“Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered.”
― José Saramago, The Double

“...for human words are like shadows, and shadows are incapable of explaining light and between shadow and light there is the opaque body from which words are born..”
― José Saramago, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ

“the only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see.”
― José Saramago, Blindness
