Jose Saramago Quote
Now don't run away. I'm not. I learned to see beyond the soles of these shoes. I learned that behind this wretched life we lead there is a great ideal, a great hope. I learned that each individual life should be guided by that hope and by that ideal. And people who don't feel that must have died before they were born. He smiled and added, Those aren't my words. It's something I heard someone else say years ago. In your view ,then, I belong to the group who died before they were born? No, you belong to another group, the ones who haven't yet been born. Aren't you forgetting about all my experience of life? Not at all, but experience is only worth anything when it's useful to other people, and you're not useful to anyone.
