Umberto Eco

"Translation is the art of failure."

"Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear."

"We have a limit, a very discouraging, humiliating limit: death."

"The real hero is always a hero by mistake he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else."

"A dream is a scripture, and many scriptures are nothing but dreams."

"There are more people than you think who want to have a challenging experience, in which they are obliged to reflect about the past."
