Hebrew Texts

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or texts:

    The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm XIX (l. XIX, 1)

    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)
