quote

(The crazy philosopher/genius Mr. Saramago does not use punctuation or line breaks in his dialogues. I have added these to make this taste of him a little easier to process.)


"'Does that mean that something could still happen?'

'Not just something, everything.'

'I don't understand.'

'It's only because we live so sunk in ourselves that we don't notice that what is actually happening to us leaves intact, at every moment, what might happen to us.'"

-- Jose Saramago, All The Names
