Famous quotes containing the words benjamin and/or tucker:

    The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out.... Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. Believe me, honey, rich is better.
    —Sophie Tucker (1884–1966)
