Text Quotes
Reading honest literature makes you love the world. Knowledge and understanding are love. Reading educates our feelings and enhances our sympathy. When you read for understanding, you are fundamentally changed. You are a different person at the end of the story or the novel than you were when it began (Literature Quotes)
I hated myself and the world because I had failed to face and accept the limitations of my self and of life. In literature this refusal is called romanticism; in psychology, neurosis (Literature Quotes)
Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood (Literature Quotes)
Literature in the written sense represents the triumph of language over writing: the subversion of writing for purposes that have little or nothing to do with social and economic control (Literature Quotes)
Some may want to shout on the street, but we should tolerate those who hide in their rooms and use literature to voice their opinions (Literature Quotes)
I can’t believe that people really prefer to go to the concert hall under intellectually trying, socially trying, physically trying conditions, unable to repeat something they have missed, when they can sit at home under the most comfortable and stimulating circumstances and hear it as they want to hear it. I can’t imagine what would happen to literature today if one were obliged to congregate in an unpleasant hall and read novels projected on a screen (Literature Quotes)
When journalism is silenced, literature must speak. Because while journalism speaks with facts, literature speaks with truth (Literature Quotes)
Deductivism in mathematical literature and inductivism in scientific papers are simply the postures we choose to be seen in when the curtain goes up and the public sees us. The theatrical illusion is shattered if we ask what goes on behind the scenes. In real life discovery and justification are almost always different processes (Literature Quotes)
Attention makes the genius; all learning, fancy, science and skills depend upon it. Newton traced his discoveries to it. It builds bridges, opens new worlds, heals diseases, carries on the business of the world. Without it taste is useless, and the beauties of literature unobserved (Literature Quotes)
Literature: proclaiming in front of everyone what one is careful to conceal from one’s immediate circle (Literature Quotes)
Standardization, instead of individualization. Cheap books, instead of private press editions. Active literature, instead of passive leather bindings (Literature Quotes)
Pornography is writing that seeks primarily, even exclusively, to bring about sexual stimulation. This can be done crudely or delicately. In the former case it would be bad literature; in the latter good (Literature Quotes)
So I have no grounds to complain; on the contrary, writers should consider the condition of permanent controversiality to be invigorating, part of the risk envolved in choosing the profesión. It is a fact of life that writers have always and with due consideration and great pleasure spit in the soup of the high and mighty. That is what makes the history of literature analogous to the development and refinement of censorship (Literature Quotes)
Error is far more common than fraud which probably comprises 1 percent or a tenth of a percent of the literature (Literature Quotes)
Of all the unexpected things in contemporary literature, this is among the oddest: that kids have an inordinate appetite for very long, very tricky, very strange books about places that don’t exist (Literature Quotes)
A book does not discriminate against any reader. All are welcome at the table of literature (Literature Quotes)
I can only speak for myself. But what I write and how I write is done in order to save my own life. And I mean that literally. For me literature is a way of knowing that I am not hallucinating, that whatever I feel/know is (Literature Quotes)
We are deceiving ourselves if we believe that a literary work written and published in a country where 70 per cent of the population is illiterate, can change the political and social life of the country.. it is up to political organization.. and not to romantic literature.. to change the present situation (Literature Quotes)
Literature is what you write when you think you should be saying something. Writing begins when you’d rather be doing anything else: and you’ve just done it (Literature Quotes)
What’s strange is how many beginning writers seem to think that grammar is irrelevant, or that they are somehow above or beyond this subject more fit for a schoolchild than the future author of great literature (Literature Quotes)
Here we are in the century of information, that is to say the unformed. Every kind of literature will be journalistic, with a science for ballast (Literature Quotes)
Literature is an ethical leap. It is a moral decision. A perilous exercise in constant failure. Literature should have grievances, because there are so many grievances in the world (Literature Quotes)
Small presses take chances. Chances are at the heart of all the literature we later know as great (Literature Quotes)
It is quite clear that beauty does depend on one’s culture and upbringing for certain kinds of beauty, pictures, literature, poetry and so on... But mathematical beauty is of a rather different kind. I should say perhaps it is of a completely different kind and transcends these personal factors. It is the same in all countries and at all periods of time (Literature Quotes)
When I make a film I’m always in reality among the trees, and among the people like yourselves. There’s no symbolic or conventional filter between me and reality as there is in literature. The cinema is an explosion of my love for reality (Literature Quotes)
It’s in literature that true life can be found. It’s under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth (Literature Quotes)
If nobody talks about books, if they are not discussed or somehow contended with, literature ceases to be a conversation, ceases to be dynamic. Most of all, it ceases to be intimate. It degenerates into a monologue or a mutter. An unreviewed book is a struck bell that gives no resonance. Without reviews, literature would be oddly mute in spite of all those words on all those pages of all those books. Reviewing makes of reading a participant sport, not a spectator sport (Literature Quotes)
True memoir is written, like all literature, in an attempt to find not only a self but a world (Literature Quotes)
Humor is the oxygen of children’s literature. There’s a lot of competition for children’s time, but even kids who hate to read want to read a funny book (Literature Quotes)
If I could start over today, I would choose literature again. If the answers exist in the world or in the universe, I still think that’s where we’re going to find them (Literature Quotes)
