Jose Saramago Dream Quotations

That is the dream of all novelists-that one of their characters will become 'somebody.'

Not only does the universe have its own laws, all of them indifferent to the contradictory dreams and desires of humanity, and in the formulation of which we contribute not one iota, apart, that is, from the words by which we clumsily name them, but everything seems to indicate that it uses these laws for aims and objectives that transcend and always will transcend our understanding.

A writer is a man like any other: he dreams. And my dream was to be able to say of this book, when I finished: 'This is a book about Alentejo'.

The possibility of the impossible, dreams and illusions, are the subject of my novels.

No human being can achieve all he or she desires in this life except in dreams, so good night all.
