More quotes by Umberto Eco
Every man is obsessed by the memories of his own youth.
Umberto Eco
Writing doesn't mean necessarily putting words on a sheet of paper. You can write a chapter while walking or eating.
Umberto Eco
Not that the incredulous person doesn't believe in anything. It's just that he doesn't believe in everything.
Umberto Eco
When one starts writing a book, especially a novel, even the humblest person in the world hopes to become Homer.
Umberto Eco
Is it possible to say It was a beautiful morning at the end of November without feeling like Snoopy?
Umberto Eco
The Roseicrucians were everywhere, aided by the fact that they didn't exist.
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
[I am fascinated by stupidity] because normal intelligence is boring. Two plus two makes four - finished. You have no possibilities! Stupidity is infinite. Two plus two can make billions of different numbers.
Umberto Eco
When you are on the dancefloor, there is nothing to do but dance.
Umberto Eco
The hand of God creates it does not conceal.
Umberto Eco
the first quality of an honest man is contempt for religion, which would have us afraid of the most natural thing in the world, which is death and would have us hate the one beautiful thing destiny has given us, which is life.
Umberto Eco
For the enemy to be recognized and feared, he has to be in your home or on your doorstep.
Umberto Eco
The good of a book lies in its being read.
Umberto Eco
Conspiracies and all the theories of conspiracy are a part of the canon of fakes. And I'm involved, in all of my writings, the theoretical ones as well as the novels, with the production of fakes.
Umberto Eco
I developed a passion for the Middle Ages the same way some people develop a passion for coconuts.
Umberto Eco
After years of practice, I can walk into a bookstore and understand its layout in a few seconds. I can glance at the spine of a book and make a good guess at its content from a number of signs.
Umberto Eco
We have a limit, a very discouraging, humiliating limit: death. That's why we like all the things that we assume have no limits and, therefore, no end. It's a way of escaping thoughts about death. We like lists because we don't want to die.
Umberto Eco
The monkish vows keep us far from that sink of vice that is the female body, but often they bring us close to other errors. Can I finally hide from myself the fact that even today my old age is still stirred by the noonday demon when my eyes, in choir, happen to linger on the beardless face of a novice, pure and fresh as a maidens?
Umberto Eco
I have lost the freedom of not having an opinion.
Umberto Eco
For many years I have devoted articles and essays to newspapers, from the inside. So criticism of the newspapers was a topic that I practiced for a long time.
