Text Quotes
Literary texts do not exist on bookshelves: they are processes of signification materialized only in the practice of reading. For literature to happen, the reader is quite as vital as the author (Literature Quotes)
Without charm there can be no fine literature, as there can be no perfect flower without fragrance (Literature Quotes)
From a really young age, I was reading like a writer. I was reading for the deep understanding of the literature; not simply to hear the story but to understand how the author got the story on the page (Literature Quotes)
In my view the time for rousing revolutionary literature has passed, because the revolution has already revolutionised itself to death and has left behind only bitterness and a sort of weariness, listlessness and even nausea (Literature Quotes)
Keats, it must be remembered, was a sensualist. His poems... reveal him as a man not altogether free from the vulgarities of sensualism, as well as one who was able to transmute it into perfect literature (Literature Quotes)
Science fiction is hard to define because it is the literature of change and it changes while you are trying to define it (Literature Quotes)
You can believe in originals only if you just don’t know their context within literature. Certainly I believe in originality, but it lies with the teller, not the tale (Literature Quotes)
In our time, when the literature for adults is deteriorating, good books for children are the only hope, the only refuge (Literature Quotes)
Modern science fiction is the only form of literature that consistently considers the nature of the changes that face us (Literature Quotes)
Literature makes history come to life. It is maybe the most accurate depiction of history, especially literature that was written in the time period depicted in the story (Literature Quotes)
Literature is one of the few kinds of writing in the world that does not tell you what to buy, want, see, be, or believe. It’s more like conversation, raising new questions and moving you to answer them for yourself (Literature Quotes)
Each new poem is partly propelled by the formal energies of all the poems that have preceded it in the history of literature (Literature Quotes)
I had never believed in the sacred nature of literature. God had died when I was fourteen (Literature Quotes)
Poetry is the most concentrated form of literature; it is the most emotionalized and powerful way in which thought can be presented (Literature Quotes)
When literature becomes overly erudite, it means that interest in the art has gone and curiosity about the artist is what’s important. It becomes a kind of idolatry (Literature Quotes)
To be honest and yet popular is almost as difficult in literature as it is in life (Literature Quotes)
When literature becomes deliberately indifferent to the opposition of good and evil it betrays its function and forfeits all claim to excellence (Literature Quotes)
I look upon literature as an art, and I believe that if you misuse it or abuse it, it will leave you. It is not a thing that you can nail down and use as you want. You have to let it use you, too (Literature Quotes)
I have such an intense pride of sex that the triumphs of women in art, literature, oratory, science, or song rouse my enthusiasm as nothing else can (Literature Quotes)
I think that the best literature has a core that you can’t lock to a time or place but that can generate lots of meanings and translations (Literature Quotes)
I often say I’ve spent more time with photography than I have with literature just in terms of hours (Literature Quotes)
The masses are still ungrateful or ignorant. They prefer murder, poisonings, and crimes generally to a literature possessed of style and feeling (Literature Quotes)
Absurdly improbable things are quite as liable to happen in real life as in weak literature (Literature Quotes)
Knowing few children of my age with whom to compare notes, I envied the children of literature to whom interesting things were always happening (Literature Quotes)
Censorship may have to do with literature; but literature has nothing whatever to do with censorship (Literature Quotes)
Not literature alone, but society itself is wormed and rotten when language ceases to be respected not merely by advertisers and politicians, but by persons of learning and authority (Literature Quotes)
When a man can observe himself suffering and is able, later, to describe what he’s gone through, it means he was born for literature (Literature Quotes)
Literature, fiction, poetry, whatever, makes justice in the world. That’s why it almost always has to be on the side of the underdog (Literature Quotes)
In a sense much great literature is subversive, since its very existence implies that what matters is art, imagination, and truth. In what we call the real world, on the other hand, what usually counts is money, power, and public success (Literature Quotes)
A child without an acquaintance of some kind with a classic of literature... suffers from that impoverishment for the rest of his life. No later intimacy is like that of the first (Literature Quotes)
