Text Lines

Famous quotes containing the words text and/or lines:

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

“... when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.... I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
