What good are we if we don't help as much as we can in that destruction?  (Literature Quotes) The unusual is only found in a very small percentage, except in literary creations, and that is exactly what makes literature  (Literature Quotes) Nothing is more comical than seriousness understood as a virtue that has to precede all important literature  (Literature Quotes) Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues  (Literature Quotes) Literature is always personal, always one man's vision of the world, one man's experience, and it can only be popular when men are ready to welcome the visions of others  (Literature Quotes) Sedgwick has managed to convert pedestrian critical skills and little discernible knowledge in history, philosophy, psychology, art or even pre - modern literature into a lucrative academic career  (Literature Quotes) In science, read, by preference the newest works; in literature, the oldest. The classics are always modern  (Literature Quotes) In science, address the few, in literature, the many. In science, the few must dictate opinion to the many; in literature, the many, sooner or later, force their judgment on the few  (Literature Quotes) The most essential and fundamental aspect of culture is the study of literature, since this is an education in how to picture and understand human situations  (Literature Quotes) It was a combination of an intense interest in children's literature, which I've always had, and the feeling that I'd just have a go and see if I could do it  (Literature Quotes) I didn't read so much Japanese literature. Because my father was a teacher of Japanese literature, I just wanted to do something else  (Literature Quotes) Some people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership.

They respected books, and they don't now, or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared  (Literature Quotes) When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man's name live for thousands of years  (Literature Quotes) Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history  (Literature Quotes)
