Text Quotes

The letter kills the spirit. The written text is mute in the face of responding challenge. It does not admit of inward growth and correction. Text subverts the absolutely vital role of memory Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not a silent art. The poem must perform, unaided, in its reader’s head. Educated readers give themselves a good performance. Educated listeners compare performance with text and with other performances. Good poets use the full resources of language Picture Quote #1

There’s no better reading experience than going to the place where a text was written Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing wrong with sending a quick note if you’re busy or just want to flirt, but it’s hard to have any real interaction over text. In the buffet of communication, text messaging should be a side dish, not the entree Picture Quote #1

We must think ourselves empty when coming to the text of scripture and read ourselves full Picture Quote #1

The writing in mathematics text is not only laconic to a fault; it is cold, monotonous, dry, dull, and even ungrammatical... The books are not only printed by machines; they are written by machines Picture Quote #1

Our approach to reality, our sense of reality, cannot assume that the text of nature, the book of life, is a cryptogram concealing just a single meaning. Rather, it is an expanding riddle of a multiplicity of resonating images Picture Quote #1

You shall see them on a beautiful quarto page where a neat rivulet of text shall meander through a meadow of margin Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a worry that an excessive use or an almost exclusive use of text and emails means that as a society we’re losing some of the ability to build interpersonal communication that’s necessary for living together and building a community Picture Quote #1

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child Picture Quote #1

Around the time I began starving, in the early eighties, the visual image had begun to supplant text as culture’s primary mode of communication, a radical change because images work so differently than words: They’re immediate, they hit you at levels way beneath intellect, they come fast and furious Picture Quote #1

People still text me to say that there is something about me in the paper, and what really annoys me is that if it’s nasty, I then have to go and have a look, even though actually I don’t want to know Picture Quote #1

Here’s a secret: fictive text doesn’t necessarily flow easily. Most of the time it’s more like cutting a highway through a mountain. You just have to keep working with your pick, chipping away at the rock, making slow progress Picture Quote #1

The one thing I always come back to as a writer, what I consider my bedrock, is a lot of charged images that appear in the text Picture Quote #1

... teaching cannot be a process of transference of knowledge from the one teaching to the learner. This is the mechanical transference from which results machinelike memorization, which I have already criticized. Critical study correlates with teaching that is equally critical, which necessarily demands a critical way of comprehending and of realizing the reading of the word and that of the world, the reading of text and of context Picture Quote #1

Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings Picture Quote #1

Helvetica was a real step from the 19th century typeface... We were impressed by that because it was more neutral, and neutralism was a word that we loved. It should be neutral. It shouldn’t have a meaning in itself. The meaning is in the content of the text and not in the typeface Picture Quote #1

Wagamama. Text messaging aficionados might like to note that this is one of the most satisfying words you can possibly type Picture Quote #1

One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read Picture Quote #1

Some people, who are deeply involved in an organized, traditional religion, find it very difficult to accept that their way isn’t the only way. And that their sacred text isn’t the only text and it must be taken literally Picture Quote #1

The world that is a book is devoured bya reader who is a letter in the world’s text; thus a circular metaphor is created for the endlessness of reading; We are what we read Picture Quote #1

Reading a text is more like tracing this process of constant flickering than it is like counting the beads on a necklace Picture Quote #1

Once an author finishes a poem, he becomes merely another reader. I may remember what I intended to put into a text, but what matters is what a reader actually finds there which is usually something both more and less than the poet planned Picture Quote #1

To write three series a year you only need to commit to writing 10 pages per day, or editing 50 pages of text per day. Plus, writing is my job, and I need to write to eat, so I’m highly motivated to get up and get to work! Picture Quote #1
