Famous quotes containing the words read and/or text:
“The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“I am so glad you have been able to preserve the text in all of its impurity.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
