Hebrew Text

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or text:

    The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 29:15.

    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)
