Text Quotes
I also really liked playing Mr. Tumnus in ‘Narnia’. I got to play my favorite character in children’s literature, which I loved. You don’t get the chance to do that in other jobs. (Literature Quotes)
I think any good literature, whether it’s for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children’s literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would. (Literature Quotes)
I’m kind of a reluctant Anglophile. My mother’s a children’s librarian, and all of the children’s literature I read was from her childhood - E. Nesbit and Dickens, which isn’t children’s literature at all, but I was sort of steeped in English literature. I thought I was of that world. (Literature Quotes)
No one spoke in terms of children’s literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around the 1940s. It wasn’t categorised much before then. Even Grimm’s tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since ‘Harry Potter’ there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again. (Literature Quotes)
Humor is the oxygen of children’s literature. There’s a lot of competition for children’s time, but even kids who hate to read want to read a funny book. (Literature Quotes)
I’ve always been interested in a certain kind of sophistication in children’s literature. I loved Roald Dahl; I loved the underlying nastiness of some of his - darkness of his tales. (Literature Quotes)
There’s a different flavor to children’s literature you read after you grow up than there was reading it as a child. Things that were sweet as a child become bitter once you grow up. (Literature Quotes)
There is nothing more important than writing well for the young, if literature is to have a continuance ... 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)
The orphan in children’s literature allows the child protagonist to move the story forward themselves. I think that, however happy a family, every intelligent child thinks: ‘How did I come to be born to these parents?’ - it is about finding your place in the world. (Literature Quotes)
The work of one author or artist may stimulate another author or artist to push the edge, to take the risk, to go where the field hasn’t gone before. The result -very exciting children’s literature and art ... exciting both for the professional and for the intended audience, the children. (Literature Quotes)
Children’s reading and children’s thinking are the rock-bottom base upon which this country will rise. Or not rise. In these days of tension and confusion, writers are beginning to realize that books for children have a greater potential for good or evil than any other form of literature on earth. (Literature Quotes)
Children’s literature is one of my joys, and it’s also my mental comfort food (Literature Quotes)
I guess I try to find the humor by juxtaposing deeper themes in literature with what people perceive as being lighter, disposable children’s fare in comics. (Literature Quotes)
The truth is, I can’t help the way people perceive anything, from the role of financial industry in the economic crisis, to the place of women’s fiction in the canon of modern literature, to the rank of mint chocolate chip ice cream as a favorite Baskin-Robbins flavor. (Literature Quotes)
I didn’t choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side. (Literature Quotes)
As it was, I realized choosing the study of Chinese literature as my life’s work was probably a mistake. (Literature Quotes)
In literature classes, you don’t learn about genes; in physics classes you don’t learn about human evolution. So you get a fragmented view of the world. That makes it hard to find meaning in education. (Literature Quotes)
The Gospel of Judas is a kind of protest literature. It’s challenging leaders of the church. (Literature Quotes)
To me, history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn’t just part of our civic responsibility. To me, it’s an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is.[The Title Always Comes Last; NEH 2003 Jefferson Lecturer interview profile] (Literature Quotes)
Henry David Thoreau was an oddball job quitter and ne’er-do-well who evolved into the bearded sage of literature, natural history, and civil liberties. (Literature Quotes)
If you’re trying to learn how to act from a class, you’re analyzing the teachers’ movements and their intricacies, and it becomes like a pantomime of you wanting to be them, and that’s wrong. Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin. It’s your own imagination, and your own version of it. (Literature Quotes)
I didn’t know much about Texas when I moved there for graduate school. In my first or second semester, I took a class in life and literature of the Southwest, and that’s where I first heard about these events along the border in 1915-1918, what Anglos called the Bandit Wars. (Literature Quotes)
Allen Ginsberg was a world authority on the writing of William Blake, and had an incredible knowledge of classic literature and world politics. (Literature Quotes)
Whenever you’re trying to do your own take on a classic piece of literature, it’s almost like you’re trying to swim up your own stream or drive down your own path. (Literature Quotes)
There’s a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters. (Literature Quotes)
Literature begins with the possible model of experience, and what it produces is the literary model we call the classic. (Literature Quotes)
Writing detective stories is about writing light literature, for entertainment. It isn’t primarily a question of writing propaganda or classical literature. (Literature Quotes)
The road has been viewed as a male turf. If you think of the classic Odyssey, of, you know, classical literature or Jack Kerouac or almost any road story, it’s really about a man on the road. There’s an assumption that the road is too dangerous for women. (Literature Quotes)
I am trying to make clear through my writing something which I believe: that biography- history in general- can be literature in the deepest and highest sense of that term. (Literature Quotes)
T.S. Eliot was one of the first poets introduced to me when I started studying literature and has felt like a close friend ever since. No one nails urban despair quite like Eliot. (Literature Quotes)
