"不可能という言葉は行き止まりだが、それは「いいえ」と言っているからではなく、道を塞いでいるからだ。"
— Jose Saramago

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that the word "impossible" doesn't just say something can't be done but creates a mental barrier. It's like coming across a roadblock while driving. The roadblock doesn't tell you that you'll never get where you need to go; it just makes you stop. Imagine you want to climb a mountain. If you think it's impossible, you might not even try. But if you see it as a challenge and figure out different ways to approach it, like by training or finding the right equipment, you can succeed. This saying encourages people not to stop at the first sign of difficulty but to find ways around obstacles. By changing how we think, we can overcome things that seem impossible at first.
