Khakheperraseneb Quotes

“For what has been said is just repetition,
What has been said has been said.”

Khakheperraseneb

Quoted in [10.1057/9781137401281_4]

“Would I had phrases that are not known, utterances that are strange, in new language that has not been used, free from repetition, not an utterance that has grown stale, which men of old have spoken.”

Khakheperraseneb

Quoted in The Burden of the Past and the English Poet (1970) by Walter Jackson Bate.
