More From Umberto Eco

I think i'm probably an assassin and not a templar, but no doubt we're probably run by people with templar mentalities.
Running Thinking People
There is a theory going around that the u.s.a. was and still is a gigantic masonic plot under the ultimate control of the group known as the illuminati. it is difficult to look for long at the strange single eye crowning the pyramid which is found on every dollar bill and not begin to believe the story, a little. too many anarchists in 19th-century europe—bakunin, proudhon, salverio friscia—were masons for it to be pure chance. lovers of global conspiracy, not all of them catholic, can count on the masons for a few good shivers and voids when all else fails.

The main thing that i learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. the truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. the truth is that it is not the iluminati, or the jewish banking conspiracy, or the gray alien theory. the truth is far more frightening - nobody is in control. the world is rudderless.

We invented marriage. couples invented marriage. we also invented divorce,mind you. and we invented infidelity,too, as well as romantic misery. in fact we invented the whole sloppy mess of love and intimacy and aversion and euphoria and failure. but most importantly of all, most subversively of all, most stubbornly of all, we invented privacy.

Jesuits make a vow of obedience to the pope. but if the pope is a jesuit, perhaps he has to make a vow of obedience to the general of the jesuits! i don’t know how to resolve this … i feel a jesuit in my spirituality; in the spirituality of the exercises, the spirituality deep in my heart.

What is companionship where nothing that improves the intellect is communicated, and where the larger heart contracts itself to the model and dimension of the smaller?
Heart Dimensions Companionship
This love was a torment, and he resented bitterly the subjugation in which it held him; he was a prisoner and he longed for freedom. sometimes he awoke in the morning and felt nothing; his soul leaped, for he thought he was free; he loved no longer; but in a little while, as he grew wide awake, the pain settled in his heart, and he knew that he was not cured yet.
Morning Pain Heart
At the heart of that western freedom and democracy is the belief that the individual man...is the touchstone of value, and all society, all groups, and states, exist for that person's benefit. therefore the enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and the abiding practice of any western society.

You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. but you’ll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no . . . anything. there’s no chance at all of recovery. you’ll just — exist. as an empty shell. and your soul is gone forever . . . lost.
