The literature of the Spanish Civil War is also important to me. Above all George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia as well as the writing of John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway. They worked on a film together in Spain during that war, which ended their friendship. (Literature Quotes)
Literature - Eastern and Western - abounds with stories, myths, legends about the search for youth, for eternal life. (Literature Quotes)
Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external. The internal is that realm of spiritual ends expressed in art, literature, morals, and religion. The external is that complex of devices, techniques, mechanisms, and instrumentalities by means of which we live. (Literature Quotes)
Life, carefully examined, is actually a form of allegorical literature with a very tight constructural grid laid over it. (Literature Quotes)

The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one’s family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash (Literature Quotes)
I grew up in a working-class Catholic family in south Louisiana. I went to a state university. I taught literature, wrote a novel that was the novel I wanted to write, and got a couple of good reviews but no real traction. I had no idea how to get a job in TV. (Literature Quotes)

Fantasy is my genre and my home in the writing world. I consider it the biggest writing room in all literature, where there are literally no boundaries at all. (Literature Quotes)
I feel that good fantasy will always be in demand. I think children especially need literature that helps them escape from the real world, which is very scary to them right now. (Literature Quotes)
Science fiction is the ugly stepchild of mainstream literature, and fantasy is the ugly stepchild of science fiction, and tie-in novels are the ugly stepchild of fantasy... and on and on and on. (Literature Quotes)
Fantasy is not the literature of subversion of the status quo but of ‘awakening to’ the status quo. (Literature Quotes)

This is what I try to tell my students: this is one great thing that literature can do - it can make us identify with situations and people far away. (Literature Quotes)
