More quotes by Umberto Eco
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
Umberto Eco
I have lost the freedom of not having an opinion.
Umberto Eco
What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible.
Umberto Eco
We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
Umberto Eco

When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything.
Umberto Eco
True learning must not be content with ideas, which are, in fact, signs, but must discover things in their individual truth.
Umberto Eco
If two things don't fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden, there must be a third thing that connects them, that's credulity.
Umberto Eco
Every time that I write a novel I am convinced for at least two years that it is the last one, because a novel is like a child. It takes two years after its birth. You have to take care of it. It starts walking, and then speaking.
Umberto Eco
There is only one thing that you write for yourself, and that is a shopping list.
Umberto Eco
The step between ecstatic vision and sinful frenzy is all too brief.
Umberto Eco
Nothing can shake my belief that this world is the fruit of a dark god whose shadow I extend.
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
I'm always fascinated by losers. Also, in my Foucault's Pendulum, the main characters, who are in a way losers, they are more interesting than the winners.
Umberto Eco
It is sometimes hard to grasp the difference between identifying with one's own roots, understanding people with other roots, and judging what is good or bad.
Umberto Eco
It is obvious that the newspaper produces the opinion of the readers.
Umberto Eco
When you are on the dancefloor, there is nothing to do but dance.
Umberto Eco
The followers must feel besieged.
Umberto Eco
Religion has nothing to do with God. It's a fundamental attitude of human beings, who ask about the origins of life and what happens after death. For many, the answer is a personal god. In my opinion, it's religion that produces God, not the other way round.
Umberto Eco
