Famous quotes containing the words picture and/or book:
“It is terrible to destroy a persons picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (18991986)
