“One’s favorite book is as elusive as one’s favorite pudding.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Human nature is a scoundrel’s favorite explanation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A book is not an autonomous entity: it is a relation, an axis of innumerable relations. One literature differs from another, be it earlier or later, not because of the texts but because of the way they are read: if I could read any page from the present time—this one, for instance—as it will be read in the year 2000, I would know what the literature of the year 2000 would be like.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
