“– Не смей меня истолковывать! – завизжал, старик. – Понимаешь – и понимай себе, а истолковывать не смей! Понимать, хотя бы отчасти, – дело всех и каждого; истолковывать – дело избранных. Но я тебя не избирал меня истолковывать. Я для этого дела себя избрал. Есть такой принцип: познай себя. А такого принципа, как познай меня, – нету. Между тем познать – это и значит истолковать. Так что отойди от меня в сторону… И там заткнись. А я себя без твоей помощи истолкую.”

“Manuscripts - at least for Muslims who understand the subject - are to be read as books whose contents are to be known and understood, for that is why they were written, and not to be regarded as enigmatic specimens for critical textual and philological exercises. To them what is in the manuscripts is more important than what is on them, and so they say: Al-'ilmu fi'l-sudur la fi'l-sutur.”

“Ma d'altra parte, il linguista che voglia interpretare un testo oggi deve fare i conti con la frattura che esiste tra l'archeologia e la filologia in America. Il punto di vista filologico, con il suo dotto interesse per i testi come tali, è diventato ostico e incomprensibile per l'archeologia americana moderna, altamente sviluppata scientificamente per quel che riguarda la correlazione logica di prove strettamente materiali, ma la cui popolarità e i cui finanziamenti sono strettamente connessi con interessi estetici o legati alla concretezza della sua materia, i prodotti dell'uomo, in particolare di tipo esotico.”
