More quotes by Umberto Eco

Umberto Eco

Umberto Eco
Is it possible to say It was a beautiful morning at the end of November without feeling like Snoopy?
Umberto Eco
Poetry is not a matter of feelings, it is a matter of language. It is language which creates feelings.
Umberto Eco
Contemporary societies have lost the sense of the feast but have kept the obscure drive for it.
Umberto Eco
The step between ecstatic vision and sinful frenzy is all too brief.
Umberto Eco
The United States needed a civil war to unite properly.
