Famous quotes containing the word text:

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

    “I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.”
    —Umberto Eco (b. 1932)

    “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 (1899–1986)
