Text Quotes
Fortunately age does not affect literature.

They will inherit the earth; and nothing that we value will endure in the world unless they can be persuaded to value it too  (Literature Quotes) Vain man is apt to think we were merely intended for the world’s propagation and to keep its human inhabitants sweet and clean; but, by their leaves, had we the same literature he would find our brains as fruitful as our bodies  (Literature Quotes) Its a heartening fact about the human race that utopian fiction precedes dystopian fiction in the evolution of literature  (Literature Quotes) What I’ve always seen in writers and artists is the courage it takes to make an original work of art.

A story is mysteriously dense of meaning  (Literature Quotes) Just so long as all our literature is pervaded with the thought that women are inferior, so long will our sex be held in a low estimate  (Literature Quotes) I think the job of writing and literature is to encourage each one of us to believe that we’re living in a story  (Literature Quotes) I did not go to any creative writing workshop; I did not major in literature. If I can write, anyone can write. All it needs is imagination  (Literature Quotes) I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world... it pushed me to think of things bigger than lifes daily routines... to think beyond what is immediate or convenient  (Literature Quotes) Literature has neglected the old and their emotions. The novelists never told us that in love, as in other matters, the young are just beginners and that the art of loving matures with age and experience  (Literature Quotes) Literature is like phosphorus: it shines with its maximum brilliance and the moment when it attempts to die  (Literature Quotes) My mother was a teacher, and when she wanted to show me art and literature and science, she’d take me to museums, parks and free exhibitions  (Literature Quotes) When I was 13 or 14, I started devouring novels; literature took quite a while to take me over, but it caught up just in time to save me from becoming a mathematician  (Literature Quotes) It is, of course, traditional in children’s literature to get rid of the parents  (Literature Quotes) Literature should not be exclusive, it should be inclusive. My general view is that you can’t, based on your own experience, project what a book will do for someone else. That’s why I don’t review books  (Literature Quotes) Periods of rapid and fundamental change were never favourable for literature. Significant works, have nearly always and everywhere been created in periods of stability, be it good or bad  (Literature Quotes) I’m trying to cause people to be interested in the particulars of their lives because I think that’s one thing literature can do for us. It can say to us: pay attention. Pay closer attention. Pay stricter attention to what you say to your son  (Literature Quotes) It is the second job of literature to create myth. But its first job is to destroy it  (Literature Quotes) I have always been fascinated by the supernatural elements in stories, whether fairy tales, myths, film or literature  (Literature Quotes) What does literature do for me? I think I solve problems in my writing. They may be my problems, but perhaps others share them, and in the process of working these through, I hope to entertain  (Literature Quotes) I am in the interesting position of being sometimes skimmed by the critics and called literature and sometimes called historical fiction  (Literature Quotes) Philosophy appears to concern itself only with the truth, but perhaps expresses only fantasies, while literature appears to concern itself only with fantasies, but perhaps it expresses the truth  (Literature Quotes) Poetry lies at the centre of the literary experience because it is the form that most clearly asserts the specificity of literature  (Literature Quotes) It is not in vain that man speaks to man. This is the value of literature  (Literature Quotes) I declare, on my soul and conscience, that the attainment of power, or of a great name in literature, seemed to me an easier victory than a success with some young, witty, and gracious lady of high degree  (Literature Quotes)
