"How irresponsibly Belbo, Diotallevi, and I had rewritten the world, or--as Diotallevi would have put it--had rediscovered what in the Book had been engraved at white heat between the black lines formed by the letters, like black insects, that supposedly made the Torah clear!" (Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum, p. 39)
