Text Quotes
I am more and more convinced that literature is made up of works, genres, schools, discussions, problems, collective work in order to solve certain problems. (Literature Quotes)
You look at science fiction and look how often it talks about being alien, being alienated about the other. Look at the number of blue people - ‘Avatar,’ I’m looking at you. And it is now easier to find people of color in science-fiction literature and media, but the issues of representation are still really, really troubling. (Literature Quotes)
I grew up reading not-serious literature, like comic books and pulp novels, so my instinct is to amuse the reader and entertain. (Literature Quotes)
Literature is no one’s private ground, literature is common ground; let us trespass freely and fearlessly and find our own way for ourselves. (Literature Quotes)
Language as a communication tool is the primary element from which literature is created. Even in pre-literate societies, it exists as songs, riddles, or epics that are chanted. (Literature Quotes)
When my relations with the Communist Party gave me the necessary perspective I decided to write my autobiography. I wanted to show how a man can pass from literature held sacred to action which nevertheless remains that of an intellectual. (Literature Quotes)
The traditional Sanskrit learning has given to Brahaman community of Kashmir, small as it has been always, a distinguished place in the history of Sanskrit literature since early times. (Literature Quotes)
Even in the most peaceful communities, an appetite for violence shows up in dreams, fantasies, sports, play, literature, movies and television. And, so long as we don’t transform into angels, violence and the threat of violence - as in punishment and deterrence - is needed to rein in our worst instincts. (Literature Quotes)
What I teach is literary criticism and comparative literature and so on and that’s my function, but from time to time it’s possible for me actually to help a writer. I read something and something strikes me then, I feel I can talk to that writer about it. (Literature Quotes)
I’m a professor of comparative literature, among other things, so I’m able to read in a couple of other languages, and I understand that not everyone is, not everyone can, although it is quite stunning how many people do read Spanish in the United States, but moving between languages is also extremely helpful. (Literature Quotes)
I’m a big skeptic so I won’t just go off what an individual may tell me. I gotta do the research. I’ma get different literature on that one subject and just compare and contrast. I do my own selective studies. (Literature Quotes)
Anybody can write a three-volume novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature. (Literature Quotes)
Sara Blair’s Harlem Crossroads is an important addition to the body of literature that currently exists about Harlem. It brilliantly illuminates the complex relationship between photographic representation and race, and adds new insight into the ways in which this one black community has figured in both the critical and public imaginations. Harlem Crossroads is a tour de force. (Literature Quotes)
You don’t find the concept of illicit love at all engaging?The concept, maybe. But in literature? That’s like ordering a glass of tap water at a bar. (Literature Quotes)
Barack Obama is an elegant and literate man with a cosmopolitan sense of the world. He is widely read in philosophy, literature, and history - as befits a former law professor - and he has shown time and again a surprising interest in contemporary fiction. (Literature Quotes)
People like to complain about the state of contemporary literature, but I can only assume they don’t read it very widely. (Literature Quotes)
For my students who are trying to learn the craft of writing in a writing class - contemporary literature is what’s most useful. (Literature Quotes)
My stories are full of facts; they have a beginning and an end. For that reason, they will never... occupy a place in contemporary literature. (Literature Quotes)
Of all the unexpected things in contemporary literature, this is among the oddest: that kids have an inordinate appetite for very long, very tricky, very strange books about places that don’t exist. (Literature Quotes)
Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society . . . loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read. (Literature Quotes)
Schools provide safe spaces to talk about controversial issues, and literature presents characters portraying human experience in all its richness and contradictoriness. (Literature Quotes)
The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it’s cool, it’s fun, it’s healthy, it’s sexy, it’s stylish. On the other hand it’s terrifying, it’s alienating, it’s addictive, and it’s scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature. (Literature Quotes)
A creative writing workshop will contain students whose ambitions and abilities, whose conceptions of literature itself, are so diverse that what they have in common - the desire to write - could almost be considered meaningless. (Literature Quotes)
The history of fiction is about family - an inexhaustible subject for literature. We are creatures driven by emotions that are on high display in intimate relations - inside the family. (Literature Quotes)
I’m sold as a literary writer in Holland; I’m sold as crime fiction in England. I think of it as just literature. (Literature Quotes)
Arabs don’t do crime fiction. I read crime fiction and I read Arabic literature, and I wish this was a novel I could have read in Arabic. (Literature Quotes)
Crime fiction, especially noir and hardboiled, is the literature of the proletariat (Literature Quotes)
Our language and literature are without a doubt Britain’s greatest contribution to the cultural heritage of the world. (Literature Quotes)
The whole world recognizes Russia’s cultural achievements. It is impossible to imagine the world culture without Russian culture, without our music and literature. (Literature Quotes)
[Cultural relativism] licenses the envy of the untalented, giving rise to what has been called the revenge of failure: Those who cannot paint destroy the canons of painting; those who cannot write reject canonical literature. (Literature Quotes)
