Official Text

Famous quotes containing the words official and/or text:

“All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

“I am so glad you have been able to preserve the text in all of its impurity.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
