Jose Saramago Quotes About Feelings

Quotes about: Feelings

• Jeronimo, my grandfather, swine-herder and story-teller, feeling death about to arrive and take him, went and said goodbye to the trees in the yard, one by one, embracing them and crying because he knew he wouldn't see them again.

  "The Cave" by Jose Saramago, tr. Margaret Jull Costa, Vintage, (p. 69), 2003.

  Jose Saramago

  Eye, Simple, Two

• I don't think it is worth explaining how a character's nose or chin looks. It is my feeling that readers will prefer to construct, little by little, their own character—the author will do well to entrust the reader with this part of the work.
