Text Quotes
If you look at the literature of the 19th century, you get things like Kafka and Dostoevsky, who basically write about feeling bored and alienated. That’s because we lost contact with the important things in life like work that you enjoy, or the garden, nature, your family and friends. (Literature Quotes)
The aim of literature ... is the creation of a strange object covered with fur which breaks your heart. (Literature Quotes)
I admire American literature, both contemporary and classic - ‘Moby-Dick’ is just about the best book in the world - and I admire British literature for its insistence on dealing with social class. It may have been an influence. (Literature Quotes)
It fascinates me to analyze these things and, yes, to see layers in the texts and the building up of Biblical literature. I think this provides insights that one simply does not get by the direct approach. (Literature Quotes)
I went to university in the north of England at University of Birmingham to do an English literature degree, and I knew I could do extracurricular stuff with theater and drama. I started a theater company, called Article 19, and I did it with a bunch of friends. I wrote and directed plays. I had a radio show. (Literature Quotes)
A taste for literature and a turn for business, united in the same person, never fails to make a great man. (Literature Quotes)
What literature can and should do is change the people who teach the people who don’t read the books. (Literature Quotes)
I don’t see how the study of language and literature can be separated from the question of free speech, which we all know is fundamental to our society. [p.92] (Literature Quotes)
You can’t understand European history at all other than through religion, or English literature either if you can’t recognise biblical allusions. (Literature Quotes)
Canada has always been a great place for literature. It’s strong and growing stronger, and there will always be reading, and there will always be great writers. (Literature Quotes)
I love and care about literature, and great writers are our teachers. You’re studying their mind when you read their work. (Literature Quotes)
At university, one of my areas of study was Victorian literature, so I decided to see if I could write a novel as carefully planned and constructed as those of George Eliot, but with the narrative energy of Dickens. (Literature Quotes)
I was raised in Catholic school where we were given a lot of heavy literature and a dense, weighty lyric wasn’t strange to me. I didn’t need everything to be light and simple for me to see the beauty in it. (Literature Quotes)
I think the class divide is going to change. I think a lot more working class people are going to get published. It is really class ridden, literature. (Literature Quotes)
From the beginning of church history, music, writing, literature, and the greatest works of art all came from the church. To change the culture and make it a force for good, you have to be in it and be a part of it. (Literature Quotes)
With ‘Ilustrado,’ I set out to change the way we read literature, and I think I failed spectacularly. In fact, I know I failed. In reaching further than I could, I may not have produced a life- or literature-changing book, but I did produce one I am proud of. (Literature Quotes)
I have no illusions that my work can rouse the masses to create change, because literature simply doesn’t have that power anymore in my country, if it does anywhere. But I do hope that it can be read by those who are in positions to create change, or that it can at least be part of that dialogue. (Literature Quotes)
We were trained as writers with the idea that literature is something that can change reality, that it’s not just a very sophisticated entertainment, but a way to act. (Literature Quotes)
I can cite a chapter and verse of literature at the times saying Italians don`t speak our language, these folks coming from other places - it sounds identical to what you are saying about Muslims now. It really does. (Literature Quotes)
In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper. (Literature Quotes)
Character is the aim of true education; and science, history, and literature are but means used to accomplish this desired end. (Literature Quotes)
Psychology, unlike chemistry, unlike algebra, unlike literature, is an owner’s manual for your own mind. It’s a guide to life. What could be more important than grounding young people in the scientific information that they need to live happy, healthy, productive lives? To have good relationships? (Literature Quotes)
I was a chemistry major, but I’m always winding up as a teacher in English departments, so I’ve brought scientific thinking to literature. There’s been very little gratitude for this. (Literature Quotes)
Chess hasn’t really influenced my literature. It’s true, there’s a character in Pigeon Post, an old chess player; but it’s more of a wink, a self-portrait and not much more. (Literature Quotes)
Literature gives us a window into other people’s experiences in other places, in other times, so I thought it would be really interesting to investigate how different people had written about motherhood, and childhood. (Literature Quotes)
Originally I had planned to write just a couple of children’s books and then, return the focus on adult literature. A funny thing happened along the way - I kept having new ideas, and then I looked up one day, and 30 years had passed! (Literature Quotes)
Children’s books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I’m a children’s writer myself. (Literature Quotes)
Samuel Marshak was one of the founders of modern Russian children’s literature. Soviet children used to know his poems by heart, but only since glasnost have American editors shown any interest in issuing his poems here. (Literature Quotes)
Our most fundamental social need, it turns out, to my amazement, is love. Now, I’m not a hippie-dippie whatever. If you look at the literature, our most fundamental need for children is an environment of maximum love, and that they can be hugged, kissed, and loved. That’s what humanises us and allows us to realise our whole dimension. (Literature Quotes)
My mother was a children’s librarian, and I was raised on lots of English children’s literature. It gave me this weird idea that I was English. (Literature Quotes)
