Text Quotes
One has a sort of spiritual obligation to go back to the source material of the literature, to make contact with one of the seminal plays of the modern theater. (Literature Quotes)
Honestly, I feel you are poisoned if you read too much of the scientific literature because it makes you start thinking like other people. You’re better off having a vague sense of what’s going on and making your own way. (Literature Quotes)
I object to publishers: the one service they have done me is to teach me to do without them. They combine commercial rascality with artistic touchiness and pettishness, without being either good business men or fine judges of literature. (Literature Quotes)
Roald Dahl pioneered a new kind of literature for youngsters, one that dispensed with can’t and solemnity, favoring anarchy and joy over duty and humbuggery while acknowledging that oftentimes no good deed goes unpunished. But ultimately, it was his sheer joie de vivre that carried the day. (Literature Quotes)
If it is good literature, the reader and the writer will connect. It’s inevitable. (Literature Quotes)
Shirley Jackson’s writings are a must for aficionados of the gothic and of good literature (Literature Quotes)
In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. (Literature Quotes)
We need literature because we wouldn’t fully know ourselves without it. We need good literature to be fully human. (Literature Quotes)
Most of the really good literature I’ve read in my life was political, meaning it was important - about something going on in the history of the world - or contemporary. (Literature Quotes)
No Sweetness Here’ is the kind of old-fashioned social realism I have always been drawn to in fiction, and it does what I think all good literature should: It entertains you. (Literature Quotes)
The short story, its course plotted and its form proscribed, has become too efficient... but efficiency is not the most, it is perhaps the least, important among the undoubted elements of good literature (Literature Quotes)
It is essential to naturalist doctrine that literature, to be good, must, finally, be the author’s experience worked out literally. (Literature Quotes)
Like the ‘good’ characters in literature, the sane don’t have any memorable lines (Literature Quotes)
It is the glorious doom of literature that the evil perishes and the good remains (Literature Quotes)
Good literature boils down to two things: How interesting is the story you are telling, and how interesting is your telling. (Literature Quotes)
The core of literature is the idea of tragedy... You don’t really learn much from the good things that happen to you. (Literature Quotes)
There is no body of ancient literature in the world which enjoys such a wealth of good textual attestation as the New Testament. (Literature Quotes)
A good story, just like a good sentence, does more than one job at once. That’s what literature is: a story that does more than tell a story, a story that manages to reflect in some way the multilayered texture of life itself. (Literature Quotes)
The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone’s neurosis, and we’d have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads. (Literature Quotes)
In college, I had a big fixation with Southern Gothic literature. Flannery O’Connor, I read every word she’s ever written. (Literature Quotes)
Own what you are, and I mean whether that’s art, or whether that’s fashion, or whether that’s music, or whether that’s acting, or whether that’s politics, or whether that’s literature; it’s own what you are, and grab it, and, you know, be as prolific as possible. (Literature Quotes)
Animation wasn’t my love, but drawing was. I loved drawing, and when it came time to graduate from high school, I looked around and it was like, Wow, I don’t really want to study math. I don’t really want to study science. I don’t really want to study literature. Is there a place where I can go and draw cartoons? (Literature Quotes)
One reason I’ve never been a fan of graphic novels is because a central aspect of literature for me has always been imagining what the things I’m reading about look like. (Literature Quotes)
But Zarathustra made it clear in which direction the answer lay; it is towards the artist-psychologist, the intuitional thinker. There are very few such men in the world’s literature; the great artists are not thinkers, the great thinkers are seldom artists. (Literature Quotes)
If you read great literature every day, you will uplift your spirit, soul and self (Literature Quotes)
It’s great people still care about books, and it’s great you can still fashion a life from literature. (Literature Quotes)
The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don’t want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don’t have a soul. (Literature Quotes)
The most enduring stories in literature generally have some kind of crime at their center, whether it’s the bloody butchery of ‘Hamlet,’ the lecherous misanthropes of Dickens or the lone gunman from ‘The Great Gatsby.’ (Literature Quotes)
As any student of literature knows, the books that last are often not the books that are most popular when they are written. Both ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’ were complete failures, critically and commercially, when they first appeared. (Literature Quotes)
I do believe any hero is a person that can be knocked down. A failure isn’t a person who gets knocked down; a failure is a person who stays down, and to me, the great heroes take the beating, get knocked down and stand back up again. Perseus is defined as one of the great heroes in literature, so you gotta take that on board. (Literature Quotes)
