Eco Received

Famous quotes containing the words eco and/or received:

    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)

    However backwards the world has been in former ages in the discovery of such points as GOD never meant us to know,—we have been more successful in our own days:Mthousands can trace out now the impressions of this divine intercourse in themselves, from the first moment they received it, and with such distinct intelligence of its progress and workings, as to require no evidence of its truth.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
