If you were to take a literary theory course, you might think it would be about literature, but it’s really not. It’s about all the various forms of oppression on earth and how we can see them playing out in literary works. And behind all these forms of oppression is a guy (Literature Quotes)
We read literature for a lot of reasons, but two of the most compelling ones are to get out of ourselves and our life stories and – equally important – to find ourselves by understanding our own life stories more clearly in the context of others (Literature Quotes)
Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made (Literature Quotes)
What lasts is what is written. We look to literature to find the essence of an age (Literature Quotes)
The finer literature, indeed, is characterized by a certain suffusion of the feminine flavor, the finer, the more ideal, thought plumed with sentiment; even science loves to spring from its feet, philosophy affect the clouds to inspire and edify (Literature Quotes)
One handles truths like dynamite. Literature is one vast hypocrisy, a giant deception, treachery. All writers have concealed more than they revealed (Literature Quotes)
People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself (Literature Quotes)
Be not merely a man of letters! Let literature be an honorable augmentations to your arms, not constitute the coat or fill the escutcheon! (Literature Quotes)
There’s a different flavor to children’s literature you read after you grow up than there was reading it as a child. Things that were sweet as a child become bitter once you grow up (Literature Quotes)
Poetry is a serious business; literature is the apparatus through which the world tries to keep intact its important ideas and feelings (Literature Quotes)
You can tell a man’s taste in literature by his judgment in knowing what not to read (Literature Quotes)
Even the choicest literature should be taken as the condiment, and not as the sustenance of life. It should be neither the warp nor the woof of existence, but only the flowery edging upon its borders (Literature Quotes)
It is not possible to build on negative emotions. Genuine literature will come only when we replace hatred for man with love for man (Literature Quotes)
Literature itself is a species of code. You line up symbols and create a simulacrum of life (Literature Quotes)
One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read (Literature Quotes)
Mathematics to me is like a language I don’t speak though I admire its literature in translation (Literature Quotes)
Le mensonge et les vers de tout temps sont amis. Lies and literature have always been friends (Literature Quotes)
Poets are always the advance guard of literature; the advance guard of life. It is for this reason that their recognition comes so slowly (Literature Quotes)
How much of our literature, our political life, our friendships and love affairs, depend on being able to talk peacefully in a bar! (Literature Quotes)
All those hints and glimpses of a larger and more satisfying democracy, which literature and our own hopes supply, have a tendency to slip away from us and to leave us sadly unguided and perplexed when we attempt to act upon them (Literature Quotes)
I am actuated by an ambition which I believe to be an honourable one? the ambition of serving the great cause of truth, while endeavouring to forward the literature of the country (Literature Quotes)
No human society is too primitive to have some kind of literature. The only thing is that primitive literature hasn’t yet become distinguished from other aspects of life: it’s still embedded in religion, magic and social ceremonies (Literature Quotes)
This story of loss and regaining of identity is, I think, the framework of all literature (Literature Quotes)
I think it can be tremendously refreshing if a creator of literature has something on his mind other than the history of literature so far. Literature should not disappear up its own asshole, so to speak (Literature Quotes)
