Umberto Eco quotes
" A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion. "

Umberto Eco
" A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams. "

Umberto Eco
" Better reality than a dream: if something is real, then it's real and you're not to blame. "

Umberto Eco
" But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. "

Umberto Eco
" Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. "

Umberto Eco
" I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. "

Umberto Eco
" The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it. "

Umberto Eco
" 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
" The ideology of this America wants to establish reassurance through Imitation. But profit defeats ideology, because the consumers want to be thrilled not only by the guarantee of the Good but also by the shudder of the Bad. "

Umberto Eco
" The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else. "

Umberto Eco
