Text Quotes
I was impressed for the ten thousandth time by the fact that literature illuminates life only for those to whom books are a necessity. Books are unconvertible assets, to be passed on only to those who possess them already (Literature Quotes)
I think literature is best when it’s voicing what we would prefer not to talk about (Literature Quotes)
In schoolbooks and in literature we can separate ecclesiastical and political history; in the life of mankind they are intertwined (Literature Quotes)
Actor training should be broadly humanistic, involving the study not just of dramatic literature and theatre history, but of languages, literature, and history generally, and should be centered on acting in plays rather than just exercises, improvisations, monologues, or even scenes (Literature Quotes)
In the theatre we reach out and touch the past through literature, history and memory so that we might receive and relive significant and relevant human qualities in the present and then pass them on to future generations (Literature Quotes)
If I had thought about it, I wouldn’t have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can’t do this (Literature Quotes)
Politics are vulgar when they are not liberalised by history, and history fades into mere literature when it loses sight of its relation to practical politics (Literature Quotes)
In my work I now have the comfortable feeling that I am so to speak on my own ground and territory and almost certainly not competing in an anxious race and that I shall not suddenly read in the literature that someone else had done it all long ago. It is really at this point that the pleasure of research begins, when one is, so to speak, alone with nature and no longer worries about human opinions, views and demands. To put it in a way that is more learned than clear: the philological aspect drops out and only the philosophical remains (Literature Quotes)
The world belongs primarily to the dead, and we only rent it from them for a little while. They created it, they wrote its literature and its songs, and they are deeply invested in how children are treated, because the children are the ones who will keep it going. The idea that each of us has the right to change everything is a deep insult to them (Literature Quotes)
A people may become great through many means, but there is only one measure by which its greatness is recognized and acknowledged. The final measure of the greatness of all peoples is the amount and standard of the literature and art they have produced... No people that has produced great literature and art has ever been looked upon by the world as distinctly inferior (Literature Quotes)
Give thy mind to books and libraries, and the literature and lore of the ages will give thee the wisdom of sage and seer (Literature Quotes)
Two of my three siblings are older, so I suppose I learned from them and became a very avid reader at a young age, which I think enough cannot be said for what you can discover through literature (Literature Quotes)
Great literature is like moral leadership; everyone deplores the lack of it, but there is a tendency to prefer it from the safely dead (Literature Quotes)
Standing before you as the advocate of the lower races, I declare what I believe cannot be gainsaid... that just so soon and so far as we pour into all our schools the songs, the poems, and literature of mercy toward these lower creatures, just so soon and so far shall we reach the roots not only of cruelty, but of crime (Literature Quotes)
It seems to me as I reviewed the literature that, with few exceptions, the more confident were the prescriptions about how to behave with ethics and integrity, the further removed was the author from the life and work of the everyday manager (Literature Quotes)
There are significant moments in everyone’s day that can make literature. That’s what you ought to write about (Literature Quotes)
Literature doesn’t matter! The only thing that matters is money and getting your teeth fixed! (Literature Quotes)
The only test of work of literature is that it shall please other ages than its own (Literature Quotes)
One function of the librarian, as he saw it, was to blunt the edge of these differences and to provide a means whereby the rich and poor could live happily side by side. The public library was a great leveler, supplying a literature by which the ordinary man could experience some of the pleasures of the rich, and providing a common ground where employer and employee could meet on equal terms (Literature Quotes)
In earlier times they had no statistics and so they had to fall back on lies. Hence the huge exaggerations of primitive literature, giants, miracles, wonders! It’s the size that counts. They did it with lies and we do it with statistics: but it’s all the same (Literature Quotes)
What we lack is a basic willingness to see literature as providing some kind of necessary foundation. Our society still expects schools to prepare their charges for work only and not for life. As such, literature is construed as at best technically useless and random, at worst socially disruptive (Literature Quotes)
Own what you are, and I mean whether that’s art, or whether that’s fashion, or whether that’s music, or whether that’s acting, or whether that’s politics, or whether that’s literature; it’s own what you are, and grab it, and, you know, be as prolific as possible (Literature Quotes)
Literature is the best way to overcome death. My father, as I said, is an actor. He’s the happiest man on earth when he’s performing, but when the show is over, he’s sad and troubled. I wish he could live in the eternal present, because in the theater everything remains in memories and photographs. Literature, on the other hand, allows you to live in the present and to remain in the pantheon of the future.Literature is a way to say, I was here, this is what I thought, this is what I perceived. This is my signature, this is my name (Literature Quotes)
There is no doubt in my mind that the literature on climate change overwhelmingly supports the hypothesis that climate change is caused by humans. I have very little reason to doubt that the consensus is indeed correct (Literature Quotes)
I long ago abandoned myself to a blind lust for the written word. Literature is my sandbox. In it I play, build my forts and castles, spend glorious time (Literature Quotes)
For those of us who take literature very seriously, picking up a work of fiction is the start of an adventure comparable in anticipatory excitement to what I imagine is felt by an athlete warming up for a competition, a mountain climber preparing for the ascent: it is the beginning of a process whose outcome is unknown, one that promises the thrill and elation of success but may as easily end in bitter disappointment. Committed readers realize at a certain point that literature is where we have learned a good part of the little we know about living (Literature Quotes)
Children’s literature must build a bridge between the colorful dream world full of fantasy and illusion, and a tougher real world full of twists and turns. The child armed with the torch of knowledge, awareness and guidance must cross this bridge and set foot to the intense harshness of the bigger world (Literature Quotes)
The great subversive works of children’s literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. They appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten (Literature Quotes)
You’re probably wasting time on things like eating and sleeping. Cease that, and read all of philosophy and all of literature. Also art. Plus politics and a few other things. The history of everything (Literature Quotes)
I love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature; how words alone can get your heart doing that (Literature Quotes)
