“Czas wszystko zmienia, wystarczy tylko poczekać, czas to siła kierując...” — José Saramago Quote

“Czas wszystko zmienia, wystarczy tylko poczekać, czas to siła kierująca naszymi losami, to gracz, który siedzi po drugiej stronie stołu, trzymając w ręku wszystkie karty, podczas gdy nam pozostaje tylko wymyślanie kart z własnym życiem.”

“A human being is a being who is constantly 'under construction,' but also, in a parallel fashion, always in a state of constant destruction.”

“Every day has its story, a single minute would take years to describe, as would the smallest gesture, the careful peeling away of each word, each syllable, each sound, not to mention thoughts, which are things of great substance, thinking about what you think or thought or are thinking, and about what kind of thought it is exactly that thinks about another thought, it's never-ending.”

“The problem is that the right doesn't need any ideas to govern, but the left can't govern without ideas.”

“Americans have discovered fear.”

“To continue living, we have to die. That's the story of humanity - generation after generation - that we are going to die. There's nothing dramatic about death except that one loses one's life.”

“O tempo, como todos sabemos, passa. Se ele volta exatamente da mesma maneira, é questionável.”

“It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.”

“Things can sometimes move slowly here on Earth. More often, thought, they move quickly so use your time well. It will be gone before you know it.”

“When in doubt, take more time.”

“Peter sank. "I'd give anything to see time.”

“Those years are a dark smear across my memory. Everything feels blurry and hollow. Plague drains not only victims but whole cities of life. It freezes trade, decays parishes, forbids lovemaking, turns childrearing into a dance with death. Most of all, it steals time. Days boarded up in sick houses or clean, pass in a swirl of flat gray. Plague time is different. It stretches and looms.”
