Many phrases and passages in it are famous: "to eat, and to drink, and to be merry," "there is no new thing under the sun," "the [[race]] is not to the swift." The title of [[Marcel Proust|Proust]]'s novel ''Remembrance of Things Past,'' [[Ernest Hemingway|Hemingway]]'s "The Sun Also Rises," and [[George Stewart]]'s ''Earth Abides,'' are all phrases from Ecclesiastes. Folksinger [[Pete Singer]] made a passage from it into the song "Turn, Turn, Turn" which, when recorded by The Byrds, was a #1 hit in the United States in 1965.
