Text Quotes
Good taste cannot supply the place of genius in literature, for the best proof of taste, when there is no genius, would be, not to write at all (Literature Quotes)
The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself (Literature Quotes)
For the serious mediocre writer convention makes him sound like a lot of other people; for the popular writer it gives him a formula he can exploit; for the serious good writer it releases his experiences or emotions from himself and incorporates them into literature, where they belong (Literature Quotes)
A writer's desire to write can only have come from previous experience of literature, and he'll start by imitating whatever he's read, which usually means what the people around him are writing (Literature Quotes)
The simple point is that literature belongs to the world man constructs, not to the world he sees; to his home, not his environment (Literature Quotes)
A person who knows nothing about literature may be an ignoramus, but many people don't mind being that (Literature Quotes)
Literature is a human apocalypse, man's revelation to man, and criticism is not a body of adjudications, but the awareness of that revelation, the last judgement of mankind (Literature Quotes)
Literature speaks the language of the imagination, and the study of literature is supposed to train and improve the imagination (Literature Quotes)
No matter how much experience we may gather in life, we can never in life get the dimension of experience that the imagination gives us. Only the arts and sciences can do that, and of these, only literature gives us the whole sweep and range of human imagination as it sees itself (Literature Quotes)
A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature (Literature Quotes)
A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas (Literature Quotes)
Where no interest is takes in science, literature and liberal pursuits, mere facts and insignificant criticisms necessarily become the themes of discourse; and minds, strangers alike to activity and meditation, become so limited as to render all intercourse with them at once tasteless and oppressive (Literature Quotes)
The press is the exclusive literature of the million; to them it is literature, church, and college (Literature Quotes)
Take the whole range of imaginative literature, and we are all wholesale borrowers. In every matter that relates to invention, to use, or beauty or form, we are borrowers (Literature Quotes)
Nine-tenths of english poetic literature is the result either of vulgar careerism or of a poet trying to keep his hand in. Most poets are dead by their late twenties (Literature Quotes)
The world of science and the world of literature have much in common. Each is an international club, helping to tie mankind together across barriers of nationality, race and language. I have been doubly lucky, being accepted as a member of both (Literature Quotes)
For me, baseball is the most nourishing game outside of literature. They both are re-tellings of human experience (Literature Quotes)
Ralph also took some classes in philosophy and literature and felt himself on the brink of some kind of huge discovery about himself. But it never came (Literature Quotes)
It perhaps might be said - if any one dared - that the most worthless literature of the world has been that which has been written by the men of one nation concerning the men of another (Literature Quotes)
If we can't stamp out literature in the country, we can at least stop its being brought in from outside (Literature Quotes)
Literature is humanity's broad - minded alter-ego, with room in its heart for monsters, even for you. It's humanity without the judgement (Literature Quotes)
The land of literature is a fairy land to those who view it at a distance, but, like all other landscapes, the charm fades on a nearer approach, and the thorns and briars become visible (Literature Quotes)
Only literature could reveal the process of breaking the law - without which the law would have no end - independently of the necessity to create order (Literature Quotes)
Though the immediate impression of rebellion may obscure the fact, the task of authentic literature is nevertheless only conceivable in terms of a desire for fundamental communication with the reader (Literature Quotes)
Literature is communication. Communication requires loyalty. A rigorous morality results from complicity in the knowledge of evil, which is the basis of intense communication (Literature Quotes)
There's no better way to inform and expand you mind on a regular basis than to get into the habit of reading good literature (Literature Quotes)
Reviewing the literature on love I noticed how few writers, male or female, talk about the impact of patriarchy, the way in which male domination of women and children stands in the ways of love (Literature Quotes)
There is nothing which can better deserve our patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness (Literature Quotes)
To encourage literature and the arts is a duty which every good citizen owes to his country (Literature Quotes)
But this lump does not absolve me, because I got it through heedlessness, not though courage. I run my tongue over my lip and what do I do? I write. But bad literature brings no redemption (Literature Quotes)
