More quotes by Umberto Eco
Creativity can only be anarchic, capitalist, Darwinian.
Umberto Eco
The function of memory is not only to preserve, but also to throw away. If you remembered everything from your entire life, you would be sick.
Umberto Eco
He had prepared his death much earlier, in his imagination, unaware that his imagination, more creative than he, was planning the reality of that death.
Umberto Eco
I have always been fascinated by paranoid people imagining conspiracies. I am fascinated by this in a critical way.
Umberto Eco
If photography is to be likened to perception, this is not because the former is a natural process but because the latter is also coded.
Umberto Eco
I like nicotine because it excites my brain and helps me work.
Umberto Eco
I love the secrecy of writing fiction. When I write a novel, I don't tell anybody what I'm doing. I'm living in my private world. And it's a great sensation.
Umberto Eco
Followers of the occult believe in only what they already know, and in those things that confirm what they have already learned.
Umberto Eco
The more things you know, or pretend to know, the more powerful you are. It doesn't matter if the things are true. What counts, remember, is to possess a secret.
Umberto Eco
You tell me these two were my parents, so now I know but it's a memory that you've given me. I'll remember the photo from now on, but not them.
Umberto Eco
You’ll come back To me . . . It’s written in the stars, you see, you’ll come back. You’ll come back, it’s a fact that I am strong because I do believe in you.
Umberto Eco
For the enemy to be recognized and feared, he has to be in your home or on your doorstep.
Umberto Eco
The lunatic is all idée fixe, and whatever he comes across confirms his lunacy. You can tell him by the liberties he takes with common sense, by his flashes of inspiration, and by the fact that sooner or later he brings up the Templars.
Umberto Eco
It is necessary to meditate early, and often, on the art of dying to succeed later in doing it properly just once.
Umberto Eco
Beauty has never been absolute and immutable but has taken on different aspects depending on the historical period and the country
Umberto Eco
Being a professional philosopher is, I would say, feeling natural to think about small and great problems. It is the only pleasure.
Umberto Eco
When the poet is in love, he is incapable of writing poetry on love. He has to write when he remembers that he was in love.
Umberto Eco
A novel is a machine for generating interpretations.
Umberto Eco
The poets did not win the philosophers surrendered.
Umberto Eco
I have to admit that I only read War and Peace when I was 40. But I knew the basics before then.
Umberto Eco
