More quotes by Umberto Eco
but I had also learned that freedom of speech means freedom from rhetoric.
Umberto Eco
We know that sensory phenomena are transcribed in the photographic emulsion in such a way that even if there is a causal link with the real phenomena, the graphic images can be considered as wholly arbitrary with respect to these phenomena.
Umberto Eco
Daytime sleep is like the sin of the flesh the more you have the more you want, and yet you feel unhappy, sated and unsated at the same time.
Umberto Eco
We are always remaking history. Our memory is always an interpretive reconstruction of the past, so is perspective.
Umberto Eco
My father was an accountant and his father was a typographer.
Umberto Eco
I discovered ... that a novel has nothing to do with words in the first instance. Writing a novel is a cosmological matter, like the story told by Genesis (we all have to choose our role models, as Woody Allen puts it).
Umberto Eco
Entering a novel is like going on a climb in the mountains: You have to learn the rhythms of respiration - acquire the pace. Otherwise you stop right away.
Umberto Eco
We have a limit, a very discouraging, humiliating limit: death.
Umberto Eco
I believe that you can reach the point where there is no longer any difference between developing the habit of pretending to believe and developing the habit of believing.
Umberto Eco
I don't know, maybe we're always looking for the right place, maybe it's within reach, but we don't recognize it. Maybe to recognize it, we have to believe in it.
Umberto Eco
Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.
Umberto Eco
The French, the Italians, the Germans, the Spanish and the English have spent centuries killing each other.
Umberto Eco
I am a professor who writes novels on Sundays
Umberto Eco
All the stories I would like to write persecute me. When I am in my chamber, it seems as if they are all around me, like little devils, and while one tugs at my ear, another tweaks my nose, and each says to me, 'Sir, write me, I am beautiful.
Umberto Eco
The Art of the Romance, though warning us that it is providing fictions, opens a door into the Palace of Absurdity, and when we have lightly stepped inside, slams it shut behind us.
Umberto Eco
How does a person feel when looking at the sky? He thinks that he doesn't have enough tongues to describe what he sees. Nevertheless, people have never stopping describing the sky, simply listing what they see.
Umberto Eco
A sure sign of a lunatic is that sooner or later, he brings up the Templars.
Umberto Eco
With all of its defects, the global market makes war less likely, even between the USA and China.
Umberto Eco
Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear.
Umberto Eco
Books are menaced by books. Any excess of information produces silence.
Umberto Eco
