Text Quotes
Most of the literary classics are worth reading, if you’ve nothing better to do (Literary Quotes)
Literary education is of no value, if it is not able to build up a sound character (Literary Quotes)
A man of letters, merely by reading a phrase, can estimate exactly the literary merit of its author (Literary Quotes)
I can’t do no literary work for the rest of this year because I’m meditating another lawsuit and looking around for a defendant (Literary Quotes)
Used books are the sluts of the literary world. Passed around from person to person, spreading their pages for anyone, getting cheaper and cheaper until eventually they end up in prison (Literary Quotes)
People love gossip because it’s slightly removed from actuality. It’s a very literary thing... You can hear a great story, and it turns out that it’s largely not true. Fiction writing is like gossip. It’s not malicious gossip, but it’s gossip (Literary Quotes)
You should prefer a good scientist without literary abilities than a literate one without scientific skills (Literary Quotes)
Only a literary work that reveals an unknown fragment of human existence has a reason for being (Literary Quotes)
I love memoirs. They are probably my favorite literary form, along with biographies. The more confessional, the better. There is so, so, so little truth in the popular culture, and I am starved and grateful for any I can find (Literary Quotes)
The literary interview won’t tell you what a writer is like. Far more compellingly to some, it will tell you what a writer is like to interview (Literary Quotes)
Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of (Literary Quotes)
The literary world is made up of little confederacies, each looking upon its own members as the lights of the universe; and considering all others as mere transient meteors, doomed to soon fall and be forgotten, while its own luminaries are to shine steadily into immortality (Literary Quotes)
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame (Literary Quotes)
Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as spectacles to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions. The learned are mere literary drudges (Literary Quotes)
I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant (Literary Quotes)
I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings (Literary Quotes)
A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him, and the world that makes him who he is: when I speak of writing, what comes first to my mind is not a novel, a poem, or literary tradition, it is a person who shuts himself up in a room, sits down at a table, and alone, turns inward; amid its shadows, he builds a new world with words (Literary Quotes)
The triumph of the written word is often attained when the writer achieves union and trust with the reader, who then becomes ready to be drawn into unfamiliar territory, walking in borrowed literary shoes so to speak, toward a deeper understanding of self or society, or of foreign peoples, cultures, and situations (Literary Quotes)
I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life (Literary Quotes)
It makes one hope and believe that a day will come when, in the eye of the law, literary property will be as sacred as whiskey, or any other of the necessaries of life. It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it (Literary Quotes)
The idea that all the people locked up in mental hospitals are sane while all the people walking about are mad is merely a literary cliche, put about by people who should be locked up. I assure you there is not much in it. Taken as a whole, the sane are out there the sick are in here. For example you are in here because you have delusions that sane people are put in mental hospitals (Literary Quotes)
Countries under foreign command quickly forget their history, their past, their tradition, their national symbols, their way of living, often their own literary language (Literary Quotes)
The literary culture, if you examine it, the high literary culture is that which preserves the government and you know it’s really the talk for those who have (Literary Quotes)
We had literary references, so we knew what we were talking about. We could quote things, talk about books we’d read; you can say something, you don’t have to explain it (Literary Quotes)
A literary journal is intended to connect writer with reader; the role of the editor is to mediate (Literary Quotes)
We now open our mail with gloves and mask, though I can’t imagine why anyone would target a literary agency! (Literary Quotes)
You have to remember that in addition to running a literary agency, I am also an ebook publisher (Literary Quotes)
If any imagine from the literary tone of the preceding remarks that we are indifferent to the radical movement for the benefit of the masses which is the crowning glory of the nineteenth century, they will soon discover their egregious mistake (Literary Quotes)
I did not win and in fact I was called into the principal’s office for a consultation with my parents. But that was the beginning of my literary career (Literary Quotes)
The thematic, psychological, and cultural concerns of a writer are more relevant than whatever literary mode he or she chooses to deal with in any given novel (Literary Quotes)
