Additional quotes by Umberto Eco
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else. If it had been possible, he would have settled the matter otherwise, and without bloodshed. He doesn’t boast of his own death or of others’. But he doesn’t repent. He suffers and keeps his mouth shut; if anything, others then exploit him, making him a myth, while he, the man worthy of esteem, was only a poor creature who reacted with dignity and courage in an event bigger than he was.
«Так что же, – осмелился я спросить, – вы еще далеки от решения?»
«Я очень близок к решению, – ответил Вильгельм. – Только не знаю, к которому».
«Значит, при решении вопросов вы не приходите к единственному верному ответу?»
«Адсон, – сказал Вильгельм, – если бы я к нему приходил, я давно бы уже преподавал богословие в Париже».
«В Париже всегда находят правильный ответ?»
«Никогда, – сказал Вильгельм. – Но крепко держатся за свои ошибки».
