Famous quotes containing the words important and/or texts:

    “One cannot spend one’s time in being modern when there are so many more important things to be.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “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)
