"Before every action, we were to begin by weighing up the consequences, thinking about them in earnest, first the immediate consequences, then the probable, then the possible, then the imaginable ones, we should never move beyond the point where out first thought brought us to a halt."
"The good and the evil resulting from our words and deeds go on apportioning themselves, one assumes in a reasonably uniform and balanced way, throughout all the days to follow, including these endless days, when we shall not be here to find out, to congratulate ourselves or ask for pardon, indeed there are those who claim that this is the much-talked-of immortality."
José Saramago is just like Paulo Coelho; a novelist who writes in Portugese. Had a number of novels published in different languages.
Now, I borrowed my English teacher's book, Blindness by José Saramago. It is written in an artistic way that tells the reader how oblivious the people of the world became about the realities that had been happening all over.
A movie based from this novel will be released this Fall. |
