The following article is an attempt to point out the conceptional similarities between two medially distinct kinds of text - the aphorism and the hypertext. The basis for achieving this aim is the concept of coherence. This article supports a broader, process-oriented concept of coherence, which involves the reader as the creator of coherence. The analysis concetrates on the aphorism, with its fragmentary structure, which demandrs participation in constructiong the sense of the text. An attempt is made to exemplify the conceptional hypertextuality of such texts with some aphorisms of K. Kraus, E. Canetti and S. J. Lec.
