Famous quotes containing the words text and/or published:
“I am so glad you have been able to preserve the text in all of its impurity.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Man cannot bury his meanings so deep in his book, but time and like-minded men will find them. Plato had a secret doctrine, had he? What secret can he conceal from the eyes of Bacon? of Montaigne? of Kant? Therefore, Aristotle said of his works, “They are published and not published.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
