Text Quotes
I never had the idea of moving to Paris and becoming something. I liked the idea of living in Paris because it seemed to have so many parts of life I really enjoyed. The people there seemed to prize literature and art, food and drinking, a more hedonistic way of living. (Literature Quotes)
Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture (Literature Quotes)
I can always tell when I’m about to start writing. I go through cycles in reading. When I’m beginning to start to write something, I start reading what I think of as good literature. I read things with wonderful language. (Literature Quotes)
What’s strange is how many beginning writers seem to think that grammar is irrelevant, or that they are somehow above or beyond this subject more fit for a schoolchild than the future author of great literature. (Literature Quotes)
Full disclosure: I went to university as an eager young feminist for many reasons - to get away from my parents, to soak up literature and knowledge, to cease being a child, to expand my mind and my world. (Literature Quotes)
Being a student of Wuxia literature, I was aware ‘Crouching Tiger’ was book four in the ‘Crane Iron Pentalogy.’ (Literature Quotes)
A surprising number of people - including many students of literature - will tell you they haven’t really lived in a book since they were children. Sadly, being taught literature often destroys the life of the books. (Literature Quotes)
I don’t think there’s a whole lot of class literature at all. I think most of that has become racially based, and people don’t think of it as being class literature. (Literature Quotes)
People don’t expect too much from literature. They just want to know they’re not alone with being confused. (Literature Quotes)
If I might control the literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of Church and State. (Literature Quotes)
Examples one finds in the philosophical literature are somebody who’s seen the trial of a child of theirs, where they’re being proved guilty of some crime that would drive the parent into a depression, maybe a suicidal depression. (Literature Quotes)
The American’s literature is all about being hot and sexy, inspiring a girl and going to bed with her. It focuses on being a hero, saving lives and surviving last, but it has nothing to do with dignity, serenity. (Literature Quotes)
With literature, sometimes a book is presented in the media as being say, a Muslim story or an African story, when essentially it’s a universal story which we can all relate to it, no matter what race or social background we come from. (Literature Quotes)
As far as I have been able to understand, the Japanese seem to keep things close to the vest. Friendly but remote and polite to the point of being invisible. It is in the music, literature, film and art that the Japanese really seem to express themselves. (Literature Quotes)
My theory is that literature is essential to society in the way that dreams are essential to our lives. We can’t live without dreaming - as we can’t live without sleep. We are ‘conscious’ beings for only a limited period of time, then we sink back into sleep - the ‘unconscious.’ It is nourishing, in ways we can’t fully understand. (Literature Quotes)
Those are the two things: a sense of loving and being loved, and being creative - that is what life is made up of, and what literature reminds us of. (Literature Quotes)
Literature is being taught as though it were only political medicine or political poison-a view that is not only illiberal but illiterate. (Literature Quotes)
It’s pathetic, but I don’t really remember my first time reading ‘The Great Gatsby.’ I must have read it in high school. I’m pretty sure I remember it being assigned, and I generally did the reading. But I don’t remember having a reaction to the book, even though I loved literature, and other works made a lasting impression on me at that age. (Literature Quotes)
But having a really good understanding of history, literature, psychology, sciences - is very, very important to actually being able to make movies. (Literature Quotes)
Any philosophical and theoretical assurance that laughter is unique to the human being becomes somewhat unsure when one turns to the anthropological literature. (Literature Quotes)
Being a literature major, you know, I’m very familiar with the ways symbolism is used in our sort of mythic tales of society, so anyone who is consciously trying to pull that off I think is really interesting and clearly very smart. (Literature Quotes)
Literature encourages tolerance-bigots and fanatics seldom have any use for the arts, because they’re so preoccupied with their beliefs and actions that they can’t see them also as possibilities. (Literature Quotes)
In literature, the ghost is almost always a metaphor for the weight of the past. I don’t believe in them in the traditional sense. (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)
I suppose it’s true that most great television, literature, and other forms of high art (and basic cable) benefit from a little hindsight. ‘M.A.S.H.’ comes to mind. So does ‘The Iliad.’ (Literature Quotes)
Jane Eyre,’ when I think of that book, it conjures up the best moments of college English courses. Literature is extraordinary, especially when you have a good professor. (Literature Quotes)
Delicacy - a sad, sad false delicacy - robs literature of the two best things among its belongings: Family-circle narratives and obscene stories. (Literature Quotes)
A taste for the best reading is not cultivated in Spanish girls, even where the treasures of that great Castilian literature are accessible to them. (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)
My greatest influence has been the blues. And that’s a literary influence, because I think the blues is the best literature that we as black Americans have. (Literature Quotes)
