Book Telling The Truth Concern

More From Umberto Eco

Books were rare,expensive, time-consuming to create and copy, and difficult to transport. that is why collections ofprint-based books developed around centers of religious belief, learning, and wealth. it was cheaper andeasier for people to come to the collection than for the collection, or parts of the collection, to go to thepeople.

I think that all countries of the region should join their efforts in the fight against a common threat - terrorism in general and isis in particular. it concerns iran as well, it concerns saudi arabia (although the two countries do not get along very well, isis threatens both of them), it concerns jordan, it concerns turkey (in spite of certain problems regarding the kurdish issue), and, in my opinion, everybody is interested in resolving the situation. our task is to join these efforts to fight against a common enemy.

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

When i came to delhi first and said, "this is not india. and then i was taken to varanasi and there i loved, loved the culture. it was a beautiful journey. the way the people dressed - even the poorest people, and the fabrics! with vegetable dyes, and i was fascinated by the color. but in the end i loved the men - all in white - so many shades of white. and i said, "what am i going to do? a color collection or a white collection?" i finally did a neutral white collection.

No man (sic) has learned to live until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. length without breadth is like a self-contained tributary having no outward flow to the ocean. stagnant, still and stale, it lacks both life and freshness. in order to live creatively and meaningfully, our self-concern must be wedded to other concerns.

The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean. on this shore, we've learned most of what we know. recently, we've waded a little way out, maybe ankle-deep, and the water seems inviting. some part of our being knows this is where we came from. we long to return, and we can, because the cosmos is also within us. we're made of star stuff. we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.

Father, i am from a different egg than your other children. think of me as a duckling raised by hens. i am not a domestic bird destined to spend his life in a chicken coop. the water that scares you rejuvenates me. for unlike you i can swim, and swim i shall. the ocean is my homeland. if you are with me, come to the ocean. if not, stop interfering with me and go back to the chicken coop.

The expedition of messrs. lewis & clarke for exploring the river missouri, & the best communication from that to the pacific ocean, has had all the success which could have been expected.

They are wrong who think that politics is like an ocean voyage or a military campaign, something to be done with some particular end in view, something which leaves off as soon as that end is reached. it is not a public chore, to be got over with. it is a way of life. it is the life of a domesticated political and social creature who is born with a love for public life, with a desire for honor, with a feeling for his fellows; and it lasts as long as need be.
