Famous quotes by George Steiner:

"Words that are saturated with lies or atrocity, do not easily resume life."

"Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent."

"To many men... the miasma of peace seems more suffocating than the bracing air of war."

"The journalistic vision sharpens to the point of maximum impact every event, every individual and social configuration; but the honing is uniform."

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past."

"We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning."

"Pornographers subvert this last, vital privacy; they do our imagining for us. They take away the words that were of the night and shout them over the roof-tops, making them hollow."

"To shoot a man because one disagrees with his interpretation of Darwin or Hegel is a sinister tribute to the supremacy of ideas in human affairs -- but a tribute nevertheless."

"Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence."

"[The] most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital."

"The age of the book is almost gone."

"There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness."

"The immense majority of human biographies are a gray transit between domestic spasm and oblivion."

"The ordinary man casts a shadow in a way we do not quite understand. The man of genius casts light."

"The most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves is to learn it by heart. Not by brain, by heart; the expression is vital."
