Speak

Famous quotes containing the word speak:

“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)

“What is more true than anything else? To swim is true and to sink is true. One cannot speak any more of being, one must speak only of the mess.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

““Where the tree of knowledge stands, there is always paradise”: thus speak the oldest and the youngest serpents.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
