Replacement Text

Famous quotes containing the words replacement and/or text:

“Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)

“I am so glad you have been able to preserve the text in all of its impurity.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
