Famous quotes containing the word text:
“Great speeches have always had great soundbites. The problem now is that the young technicians who put together speeches are paying attention only to the soundbite, not to the text as a whole, not realizing that all great soundbites happen by accident, which is to say, all great soundbites are yielded up inevitably, as part of the natural expression of the text. They are part of the tapestry, they arent a little flower somebody sewed on.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
“Don Pedro. But when shall we set the savage bulls horns on the sensible Benedicks head?
Claudio. Yes, and text underneath, Here dwells Benedick, the married man?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but ones meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
