Talk:José Saramago

I have created the page of Jose Saramago and working on it. More quotations will be added every day. I am reading The Cave, and I shall read more books by this author. Therefore i suggest that my page be considered prominent.
 * It looks like you actually created a separate article at José de Sousa Saramago. Wouldn't you like to move those quotes to this José Saramago article? ~ Ningauble 18:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * What kind of world is this that can send machines to Mars and does nothing to stop the killing of a human being?
 * I remember hearing Saramago say this in an interview (possibly with Judite Sousa, in 1998). ~ DanielTom (talk) 23:21, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
