Text Quotes
There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write  (Literature Quotes) My books are shelved in different places, depending on the bookstore. Sometimes they can be found in the mystery section, sometimes in the humor department, and occasionally even in the literature aisle, which is somewhat astounding  (Literature Quotes) Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself  (Literature Quotes) The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance  (Literature Quotes) There is a growing literature about the multitude of journalism's problems, but most of it is concerned with the editorial side of the business, possibly because most people competent to write about journalism are not comfortable writing about finance  (Literature Quotes) The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature  (Literature Quotes) Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other  (Literature Quotes) It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics  (Literature Quotes) The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash  (Literature Quotes) The best way to tell people about climate change is through non-fiction. There's a vast literature of outstanding writing on the subject  (Literature Quotes) An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence  (Literature Quotes) Literature isn't a moral beauty contest. Its power arises from the authority and audacity with which the impersonation is pulled off; the belief it inspires is what counts  (Literature Quotes) Post Modernism was a reaction against Modernism. It came quite early to music and literature, and a little later to architecture. And I think it's still coming to computer science  (Literature Quotes) The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it  (Literature Quotes) I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like, why they said all the strange things they did  (Literature Quotes) I made a compact with myself that in my person literature should stand by itself, of itself, and for itself  (Literature Quotes) I can say without affectation that I belong to the Russian convict world no less than I do to Russian literature. I got my education there, and it will last forever  (Literature Quotes) Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience. From generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation  (Literature Quotes) The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature  (Literature Quotes) The only link between literature and the drama left to us in England at the present moment is the bill of the play  (Literature Quotes) But what is the difference between literature and journalism?... Journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. That is all  (Literature Quotes) Pathology is rapidly becoming the basis of sensational literature, and in art, as in politics, there is a great future for monsters  (Literature Quotes) Anybody can write a three volumed novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature  (Literature Quotes) Oh literature, oh the glorious Art, how it preys upon the marrow in our bones. It scoops the stuffing out of us, and chucks us aside. Alas!  (Literature Quotes) From the point of view of literature Mr. Kipling is a genius who drops his aspirates. From the point of view of life, he is a reporter who knows vulgarity better than any one has ever known it  (Literature Quotes) It is true that short forms of poetry have been cultivated in the Far East more than in modern Europe; but in all European literature short forms of poetry are to be found - indeed quite as short as anything in Japanese  (Literature Quotes) I often imagine that the longer he studies English literature the more the Japanese student must be astonished at the extraordinary predominance given to the passion of love both in fiction and in poetry  (Literature Quotes) I hate vulgar realism in literature. The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for  (Literature Quotes) Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people, and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary  (Literature Quotes) Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to it's purpose. The nineteenth century, as we know it, is largely an invention of Balzac  (Literature Quotes)
