The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood (Literature Quotes)
A curious thing about written literature: It is about four thousand years old, but we have no way of knowing whether four thousand years constitutes senility or the maiden blush of youth (Literature Quotes)

The literature of women’s lives is a tradition of escapees, women who have lived to tell the tale (Literature Quotes)
Literature provides us with experiences it would not be wise or possible to introduce into our own world and thus enlarges our understanding of the world (Literature Quotes)
Literature should be more revolutionary than revolutions themselves; writers must find the means to continue to be critical of the negative elements in the sociopolitical reality (Literature Quotes)
Everything that is printed and bound in a book contains some echo at least of the best that is in literature (Literature Quotes)
We must not inquire too curiously into the absolute value of literature. Enough that it amuses and exercises us. At least it leaves us where we were. It names things, but does not add things (Literature Quotes)
We enjoy the great prophets of literature most when we have not yet lived enough to realize all they tell us (Literature Quotes)
If we wish to unfold the mind in our children we do not leave them to their own uncultivated taste in all these things, but we try to help them to train that taste, whether it be in art, in music or in literature (Literature Quotes)
The history of imitation of the older literature, particularly abroad, has among other advantages this one, that the important concepts of unintentional parody and passive wit can be deduced from it most easily and comprehensively (Literature Quotes)
Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped (Literature Quotes)
It’s one thing if everyone wears the same shoes or drinks the same soda. But the world of literature is the last place in which globalization should mean homogeneity (Literature Quotes)
Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart (Literature Quotes)
Some of what we read in classical literature is not relative to our condition, but then many women novelists and poets have turned it upside down and told the stories from the other point of view (Literature Quotes)
Every man’s work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself (Literature Quotes)
The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government (Literature Quotes)
There is in fact no such thing as art for art’s sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause (Literature Quotes)
The atmosphere of orthodoxy is always damaging to prose, and above all it is completely ruinous to the novel, the most anarchical of all forms of literature (Literature Quotes)
Literature does not exist in a vacuum. Writers as such have a definite social function exactly proportional to their ability as writers. This is their main use (Literature Quotes)
Literature is without proofs. By which it must be understood that it cannot prove, not only what it says, but even that it is worth the trouble of saying it (Literature Quotes)
In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us (Literature Quotes)
In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects (Literature Quotes)
The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work (Literature Quotes)
Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world (Literature Quotes)
What I am going to write is the last of what I have to say. I will say that literature is the only consciousness we possess and that its role as consciousness must inform us of our ability to comprehend the hideous danger of nuclear power (Literature Quotes)
