Quote by José Saramago

“Τελείωσε το φαγητό του, πέταξε το υγρό και παγωμένο χάρτινο σακουλάκι στον κάδο των σκουπιδιών, έπλυνε το φλιτζάνι και, με το κουζινομάχαιρο στο χέρι, μάζεψε τα ψίχουλα που είχαν πέσει στο τραπέζι. Το έκανε συγκεντρωμένα για να κρατήσει τις σκέψεις του σε απόσταση και να τις αφήσει να περάσουν μία μία, αφού πρώτα τις έχει ρωτήσει τι είχαν μέσα, γιατί με τις σκέψεις κάθε προφύλαξη είναι λίγη, μερικές μας εμφανίζονται μ' ένα γλυκό ύφος υποκριτικής αθωότητας κι αμέσως, πολύ αργά όμως, εκδηλώνονται πόσο κακοήθεις είναι.”

“I keep quiet and look out the window. The light is weak and watery-looking, like the sun hast just spilled itself over the horizon and is too lazy to clean itself up. The shadows are as sharp and pointed as needles. I watch three black crows take off simultaneausly from a telephone wire and wish I could take off too, move up, up, up, and watch the ground drop away from me the way it does when you're on an airplane, folding and compressing into itself like an origami figure, until everything is flat and brightly colored - until the world is like a drawing of itself”
