Literature Quotes

All of my education at Harvard, then Oxford, then Paris was in literature - even my thesis was on Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

If I’ve ever regretted anything, it was putting all my eggs in one basket, holing up and kneeling at the altar of literature, instead of going out and at least reviewing, running around and trying to write for magazines. That would’ve been the intelligent thing to do, but I didn’t, and that was because of fanaticism Picture Quote #1

I hesitated before buying a Kindle. I wasn’t worried that the digital reader would ruin literature as we know it. Rather, my concern centered on using an electronic device in the bathtub Picture Quote #1

Nonfiction writers are second-class citizens, the Ellis Island of literature. We just can’t quite get in. And yes, it pisses me off Picture Quote #1

Literature is the supreme means by which you renew your sensuous and emotional life and learn a new awareness Picture Quote #1

True literature is more than just a story someone has told. It must provide the reader with the essence of the world on a moral, philosophical and emotional level Picture Quote #1

I’m too much left brain. I very much have an emotional response to things; I love literature and films and storytelling. I need to nourish my right side, it doesn’t get a lot of exercise Picture Quote #1

The real difference between literature and pulp is the kind of emotional responses they elicit. Dan Brown can’t pierce your heart. Patricia Cornwell can’t make you read a sentence twice and then look sightlessly out of the window Picture Quote #1

Literature sucks you into another psyche. So the creation of empathy necessarily influences how you’ll behave to other people Picture Quote #1

How very dull our lives would be without literature! How very much dark and poor, how so sad and empty the world would be! Picture Quote #1

I am not opposed to e-readers. Any technology that encourages the reading of literature is a good thing Picture Quote #1

In general, literature is a natural adversary of totalitarianism. Tyrannical governments all view literature in the same way: as their enemy. I lived for a long time in a totalitarian state, and I know firsthand that horror Picture Quote #1

Comics? Honestly, that’s more a matter of nostalgia for me. I think most of that energy has gone to my love of literature and my love of film Picture Quote #1

I studied English literature; I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn’t a religion major really Picture Quote #1

As a former English major, I have always been fascinated by the connections between literature and history Picture Quote #1

I don’t hate language. I have my own language, but I also enjoy the English language. Obviously, you don’t read a lot of literature and not care about language Picture Quote #1

My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way Picture Quote #1

I never intended to be a historian of religion. My aim was to become a professor of English Literature in a university, but I had a series of absolute career disasters and found myself making television programs about the nature of religion and about Christian history and started to discover about other religious traditions, and that was an absolute eye-opener for me Picture Quote #1

I think of science fiction as being part of the great river of imaginative fiction that has flowed through English literature, probably for 400 or 500 years, well predating modern science Picture Quote #1

I study English literature but my friends are doing psychology and things like that. No one cares about acting there. It’s not competitive and it’s a nice environment for me Picture Quote #1

I soon realized that a student of English literature who does not know the Bible does not understand a good deal of what is going on in what he reads: The most conscientous student will be continually misconstruing the implications, even the meaning Picture Quote #1

I wanted to write plays. I was at Yale graduate school at the time for English literature, not for acting... I liked the idea of collaboration, and I thought if I’m gonna write plays, I should learn something about speaking the lines that I might try to write Picture Quote #1

I loved reading when I was young. I was just completely taken by stories. And I remember taking that into English literature at school and taking that into Shakespeare and finding that opened up a whole world of self-expression to me that I didn’t have access to previously Picture Quote #1

Nineteenth-century English literature I know; 19th-century sewage systems, not so much Picture Quote #1

I think in general there’s no point in going into a field like English literature if you’re not going to have fun with it Picture Quote #1

I went to University College London and read English literature, then realised if you were interested in story and narrative, film was the way to go Picture Quote #1
