Famous quotes containing the word text:

    “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)

    “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 aren’t a little flower somebody sewed on.”
    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    “I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.”
    —Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
