Little memories

~You can also to listen to this entry here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrPvZA4QDi8


"Nobody knows everything, nobody will never know everything, but there are moments when we believe we do, maybe because, at this moment, nothing more than this belief is filling our souls, our consciences, our minds - those things that make us more or less humans."

"Nunca se sabe tudo, nunca se saberá tudo, mas há horas em que somos capazes de acreditar que sim, talvez porque nesse momento nada mais nos podia caber na alma, na consciência, na mente, naquilo que se queira chamar ao que nos vai fazendo mais ou menos humanos."

I tried to translate a beautiful piece of "Little memories", by José Saramago, the 84-years-old Portuguese writter that won Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998. This is the first Saramago book that I dare to read - and I 'm loving it. It's wonderful to read the work of somebody that is Portuguese (and a Nobel winner!) and therefore knows Portuguese language as much as me or, even better, much more than me :)
