Umberto Eco

Italian - Novelist January 5, 1932 - February 19, 2016

With the author

Semiotics is a general theory of all existing languages... all forms of communication - visual, tactile, and so on... There is general semiotics, which is a philosophical approach to this field, and then there are many specific semiotics.

Umberto Eco

The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.

Umberto Eco

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

Umberto Eco

A transposable aphorism is a malaise of the urge to be witty, or in other words, a maxim that is untroubled by the fact that the opposite of what it says is equally true so long as it appears to be funny.

Umberto Eco

Beauty is boring because it is predictable.

Umberto Eco

Religion has nothing to do with God. It's a fundamental attitude of human beings, who ask about the origins of life and what happens after death. For many, the answer is a personal god. In my opinion, it's religion that produces God, not the other way round.

Umberto Eco

Our life is full of empty space.

Umberto Eco

Sometimes you say things with a smile with the precise intention of making it clear that you are not being serious, and are only kidding. If I salute a friend with a smile and say, 'How are you, you old scoundrel!' clearly I don't really mean he's a scoundrel.

Umberto Eco

I have always believed that it's important to show a new look periodically. Predictability can lead to failure.

T. Boone Pickens

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Paulo Coelho

You always pass failure on your way to success.

Mickey Rooney

Failure is knowledge, and knowledge is success.

Mahira Khan

The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

Alan Hansen

We have equated a cancer diagnosis to 'death,' but we look at diabetes as 'something that you get when you get older.' But look at diabetes - it's the leading cause of limb amputation, heart disease, kidney failure. Many people don't equate diabetes with these other destructive things. I didn't equate it to those until I started reading about it.

Eric Adams

If we do not get No Child Left Behind right for Limited English Proficient students, the law will be a failure for most schools in the 15th Congressional District, and for many across the nation.

Ruben Hinojosa

We all struggle with our failure to communicate and our failure to reach beyond fear to love people.

Mira Sorvino
