Famous quotes containing the words text and/or recall:
“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)
“Who will remember happiness?
I can recall that they are dead.
I know that heaven cracked one day,
And only God knows what they said.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
