George Steiner
 [Its sequel, the Odyssey, describes the effort of one of the attackers to return home. It is] the epic of the displaced person, ... The cities are down and the survivors wander the face of the earth as pirates or beggars. |
| [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. |
| Books - the best antidote against the marsh-gas of boredom and vacuity. |
| Chess may be the deepest, least exhaustible of pastimes, but it is nothing more. As for a chess genius, he is a human being who focuses vast, little-understood mental gifts and labors on an ultimately trivial human enterprise. |
| 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. |
| Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence. |
| Men are accomplices to that which leaves them indifferent. |
| More and more lower-middle-income families either live their lives in debt or leave the city altogether. The boom is strictly at the penthouse level. |
| 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. |
| The age of the book is almost gone. |
| The immense majority of human biographies are a gray transit between domestic spasm and oblivion. |
| The journalistic vision sharpens to the point of maximum impact every event, every individual and social configuration; but the honing is uniform. |
| The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud. |
| The ordinary man casts a shadow in a way we do not quite understand. The man of genius casts light. |
| There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness. |
