The worst thing about death is that you once were, and now you are not.
O pior da morte é que antes estavas e agora não estás.

More quotes by José Saramago
The difficult thing isn't living with other people, it's understanding them.
If I'm sincere today, what does it matter if I regret it tomorrow?
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Perhaps only in a world of the blind will things be what they truly are.
