Text Quotes
Everything in life is arbitrary yet must be over-determined in literature. Jean McGarry knows how to tell a persuasive tale illuminating these truths (Literature Quotes)
The utmost the American novelist can hope for, if he hopes at all to see his work included in the literature of his time, is that it may eventually be found to be along in the direction of the growing tip of collective consciousness. Preeminently the novelist’s gift is that of access to the collective mind (Literature Quotes)
There is no other proposition in economics that has more solid empirical evidence supporting it than the Efficient Market Hypothesis... In the literature of finance, accounting, and the economics of uncertainty, the EMH is accepted as a fact of life (Literature Quotes)
Whoever could properly characterize Goethe’s Meister would have actually expressed what is the timely trend in literature. He would be able, as far as literary criticism is concerned, to rest (Literature Quotes)
Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings (Literature Quotes)
I would much rather read a book about Ty Cobb, who was quite possibly a sociopath. It makes for more interesting copy. Some of the most memorable characters in literature were villains (Literature Quotes)
School was rough for me. I was a good student in middle school, but high school wasn’t so fun. I still pulled through, though! I excelled in art, fashion, history and English literature - anything creative. Math and science I struggled a bit more in (Literature Quotes)
I went to study English for two reasons. Principally because when I was in university, studying drama wasn’t considered an option. You couldn’t get a degree course for it. And so many plays and things that I was interested in landed themselves in a broader spectrum of literature (Literature Quotes)
I first came to Russia because of the culture, literature and music... and my interest in the 19th-century revolutionary spirit of Herzen, Bakunin and Kropotkin. Russia is a wonderful place to bring new clowns because Russians give back a wonderful response (Literature Quotes)
All the questions discussed in the Talmud and related rabbinic literature are normative questions: either they are questions of what one is to think or what one is to do. Every prescribed thought has some practical implication; every prescribed act has some theoretical implication (Literature Quotes)
Business students are very oriented to playing a role in the real world and accomplishing something, not training themselves to be scholars and contribute to the literature. Teaching in that kind of environment has focused me much more on the real world, how pieces of the theory I know can be applied to real-world situations (Literature Quotes)
The reason I write romance is that I like happy endings. The idea, you know, ‘It’s not literature unless is ends badly,’ and I really don’t like that. There’s enough misery and bad things happening in the world (Literature Quotes)
When I saw what painting had done in the last thirty years, what literature had done - people like Joyce and Virginia Woolf, Faulkner and Hemingway - in France we have Nathalie Sarraute - and paintings became so strongly contemporary while cinema was just following the path of theater. I have to do something which relates with my time, and in my time, we make things differently (Literature Quotes)
Literature is the adventure. It’s the story, it’s the fight, it’s people falling in love, it’s people with deep personality disorders who succeed anyway beyond themselves. That’s what great literature is (Literature Quotes)
One of the great events in my life was my first meeting with Edison. This wonderful man, who had received no scientific training, yet had accomplished so much, filled me with amazement. I felt that the time I had spent studying languages, literature and art was wasted; though later, of course, I learned this was not so (Literature Quotes)
In Holland, things were pretty stale for me. Even though there were a lot of good influences and a certain openness to music and art and literature, I just wanted to go somewhere less familiar - somewhere bigger (Literature Quotes)
Only when I make movements away from the tribe of indie art and literature. Maybe that’s something important for me to keep thinking about. What you gain, what you lose, why and how. Maybe the edge of the page is the place for me. Maybe that’s OK (Literature Quotes)
As for most writers, language is vital for me: a writer’s ability to render a fictional world - characters, landscape, emotions - into something original that alters or deepens my understanding of both literature and life (Literature Quotes)
The great universal literature has always had a tragic relation with freedom. The Greeks renounced absolute freedom and imposed order on chaotic mythology, like a tyrant (Literature Quotes)
I did study Shakespeare, that was sort of my thing; I got a Literature A-level, which is my only claim to academic fame (Literature Quotes)
Much that is great in literature is an acquired taste, and you have to acquire it in the first place. Our job as parents is essentially to pass on the enthusiasm we had for the things we loved. That’s how we’ll get them to fall in love with reading in the first place and, hopefully, to stay in love with it (Literature Quotes)
I don’t feel like literature has the power to alienate. I think that’s something people feel if they don’t connect with a work of art. But I don’t think a work of art can actively reject the person who’s looking at it or reading it. (Literature Quotes)
I’m not terribly conversant with children’s literature in general. I tend to read books for adults, being an adult. (Literature Quotes)
There is a very big difference between writing for children and writing for young adults. The first thing I would say is that ‘Young Adult’ does not mean ‘Older Children’, it really does mean young but adult, and the category should be seen as a subset of adult literature, not of children’s books. (Literature Quotes)
I have a passion for children’s literature. Young adult literature. I love it. I’ve always loved it. (Literature Quotes)
Margaret Atwood was the author who took me out of children’s literature and guided me towards adult literature. (Literature Quotes)
Good children’s literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child. (Literature Quotes)
In some ways, getting published in children’s literature is a little more open than publishing adult literature. It’s less hinged on who you might know. (Literature Quotes)
In comics, you have to imagine what happens. I really loved it; I loved collecting. I loved following the adventures and figuring out what was going to happen next. I was a huge X-Men fan; I was a huge Spider-Man fan, and, to large degree, I remain one. It’s literature for me; it’s art. (Literature Quotes)
In my teaching, I try to expose my students to the widest range of aesthetic possibilities, so I’ll offer them stories from Anton Chekhov to Denis Johnson, from Flannery O’Connor to A.M. Homes, and perhaps investigating all that strange variation of beauty has rubbed off on me. Or perhaps that’s why I enjoy teaching literature. (Literature Quotes)
