| f074da9 | Daha sonra Lia soyle diyecekti bana: "Yuzeyde yasiyorsun sen. Bazen derin gorunuyorsan, bunun nedeni, derinlik,katilik etkisi yaratmak icin yuzeyleri ic ice gecirmen: ayakta duramayacak bir katilik." "Yuzeysel oldugumu mu soyluyorsun?" "Hayir," diye yanitlamisti Lia, "baskalarinin derinlik dedikleri, dort-boyutlu kupten baska birsey degildir. Bir yanindan girer obur yanindan cikarsin; onlarin evreninde, senin evreninle bir arada var olamaya.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 8ff03fe | And he continues: "Thus it is increasingly necessary you recognize that other congregations of material bodies exist elsewhere in the universe, like this of our world, which the ether encircles in eager embrace" | Umberto Eco | ||
| 4c496d2 | Es inutil, ya no tenemos la sabiduria de los antiguos, !se acabo la epoca de los gigantes! -Somos enanos -admitio Guillermo-, pero enanos subidos a los hombros de aquellos gigantes, y, aunque pequenos, a veces logramos ver mas alla de su horizonte. | Umberto Eco | ||
| ced0473 | They [the Templars] had read Avicenna, and they were not ignorant, like the Europeans. How could you live alongside a tolerant, mystical, libertine culture for two centuries without succumbing to its allure, particularly when you compared it to Western culture, which was crude, vulgar, barbaric, and Germanic? | Umberto Eco | ||

| b19a698 | But Roberto already knew what the Jesuit's real objection would be. Like that of the abbe on that evening of the duel when Saint-Savin provoked him: If there are infinite worlds, the Redemption can no longer have any meaning, and we are obliged either to imagine infinite Calvaries or to look on our terrestrial flowerbed as a priveleged spot of the Cosmos, on which God permitted His Son to descend and free us from sin, while the other worlds.. | Umberto Eco | ||

| a73a0f4 | I was becoming addicted, Diotallevi was becoming corrupted, Belbo was becoming converted. But all of us were slowly losing that intellectual light that allows you always to tell the similar from the identical, the metaphorical from the real. | Umberto Eco | ||

| 0818bc9 | Not that the incredulous person doesn't believe in anything. It's just that he doesn't believe in everything. Or he believes in one thing at a time. He believes a second thing only if it somehow follows from the first thing. He is nearsighted and methodical, avoiding wide horizons. 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. | method science | Umberto Eco | |
| 4b1de8e | Oysa simdi, dunyanin zararsiz bir bilmece oldugunu, ardinda bir gercek varmis gibi onu aciklamaya kalkisma cilginligimizin onu korkunclastirdigina inaniyorum. | Umberto Eco | ||
| b484801 | And on the moon there is surely water...And up there, if water exists, and air, then so does life. A life perhaps different from ours. Perhaps that water has the flavor of (let us say) glycyrrhizin, or cardamon, or even of pepper. If there are infinite worlds, this proves the infinite ingenuity of the Engineer of our Universe, but then there is no limit to this Poet. He can have created inhabited worlds everywhere, but inhabited by ever-di.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| ae27613 | Two cliches make us laugh," writes Umberto Eco in his essay on Casablanca, "but a hundred cliches move us because we sense dimly that the cliches are talking among themselves, celebrating a reunion." Just" -- | Noah Isenberg | ||
| 6c17ad6 | An we, inhabitants of the great coral of the Cosmos, believe the atom (which still we cannot see) to be full matter, whereas, it too, like everything else, is but an embroidery of voids in the Void, and we give the name of being, dense and even eternal, to that dance of inconsistencies, that infinite extension that is identified with absolute Nothingness an that spins from its own non-being the illusion of everything. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 3a20921 | Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. If this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only I stone, I stone, I stone. But perhaps it cannot even say I. It thinks: Stone, stone, stone... God enjoys being All, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 89a6168 | Es necesario un enemigo para darle al pueblo una esperanza. Alguien ha dicho que el patriotismo es el ultimo refugio de los canallas: los que no tienen principios morales se suelen envolver en una bandera, y los bastardos se remiten siempre a la pureza de su raza. La identidad nacional es el ultimo recurso para los desheredados. Ahora bien, el sentimiento de la identidad se funda en el odio, en el odio hacia los que no son identicos. Hay qu.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 342af60 | I hated my mother who had gone without telling me, I hated my father who had done nothing to stop her, I hated God because he had willed such a thing to happen, and I hated my grandfather because he thought it normal for God to will such things. | Umberto Eco | ||

| db8202e | I never liked writing concluding paragraphs to papers where you just repeat what you've already said with phrases like 'In summation' and 'To conclude'. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 72dc369 | After all, the fundamental question of philosophy (like that of psychoanalysis) is the same as the question of the detective novel: who is guilty? | Umberto Eco | ||
| 3007dee | The point is that newspapers are not there for spreading news but for covering it up. X happens, you have to report it, but it causes embarrassment for too many people, so in the same edition you add some shock headlines - mother kills four children, savings at risk of going up in smoke, letter from Garibaldi insulting his lieutenant Nino Bixio discovered, etc. - so news drowns in a great sea of information. | news newspapers | Umberto Eco | |
| 34970dc | So you truly do not believe in God?" "I find no reason to, in nature... If the idea of God is unknown in the state of nature, it must then be a human invention." | Umberto Eco | ||
| 0736110 | The dove, as it flies in the sun, seems simply to sparkle like silver, but only one who has been able to wait at length to discover its hidden face will see its true gold or, rather, the color of a shining orange. | Umberto Eco | ||

| 60627ce | we never cease hoping--and thus did our Judge condemn us to suffer in saecula.' Ferrante asked: 'But what is it that you hope for?' You might as well ask what you will hope for yourself. ...You will hope that a wisp of wind, the slightest swell of the tide, the arrival of a single hungry leech, can return us, atom by atom, to the great Void of the Universe, where we would somehow again participate in the cycle of life. | Umberto Eco | ||
| 7ce4a25 | For architecture, among all the arts, is the one that most boldly tries to reproduce in its rhythm the order of the universe, which the ancients called "kosmos," that is to say ornate, since it is like a great animal on whom there shine the perfection and the proportion of all its members. And praised be our Creator who, as the Scriptures say, has decreed all things in number, weight, and measure." -- | Umberto Eco | ||

| 20eaa8e | Fur die Leute, die einen zum ersten Mal besuchen, eine imposante Bibliothek entdecken und nichts Besseres zu sagen wissen als: "Haben Sie das alles gelesen?", kenne ich mehrere Antworten. Einer meiner Freunde sagt; ,,Mehr, Monsieur, mehr." Ich fur mein Teil habe zwei Antworten. Die erste ist: "Nein. Das sind nur die Bucher, die ich nachste Woche lesen muss. Die, die ich schon gelesen habe, sind in der Universitat." Die zweite Antwort lautet.. | Umberto Eco | ||

| 5922372 | But it was the newspapers that called John XXIII the Good Pope, and the people followed suit." "That's right. Newspapers teach people how to think," Simei said. "But do newspapers follow trends or create trends?" "They do both, Signorina Fresia. People don't know what the trends are, so we tell them, then they know. But let's not get too involved in philosophy--we're professionals. Carry on, Colonna." | Umberto Eco | ||
