Text Quotes
Literature throws us many great heroes. Real life invariably outdoes them. (Literature Quotes)
A people’s literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can. (Literature Quotes)
What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote. (Literature Quotes)
When I was a kid, I went through the whole process of reading great literature and trying to be very widely read. (Literature Quotes)
Nothing better protects a human being against the stupidity of prejudice, racism, religious or political sectarianism, and exclusivist nationalism than this truth that invariably appears in great literature: that men and women of all nations and places are essentially equal, and only injustice sows among them discrimination, fear, and exploitation. (Literature Quotes)
I was enthralled and moved by Azar Nafisi’s account of how she defied, and helped others to defy, radical Islam’s war against women. Her memoir contains important and properly complex reflections about the ravages of theocracy, about thoughtfulness, and about the ordeals of freedom-as well as a stirring account of the pleasures and deepening of consciousness that result from an encounter with great literature and with an inspired teacher. (Literature Quotes)
That’s the great thing about literature -- it makes the world less lonely (Literature Quotes)

Literature has done great work for feminism - writing and reading are a practice of empathy - and great literature will continue to do so. (Literature Quotes)
It is doubtless one of Aristotle’s great services that he conceived so clearly the truth that literature is a thing that grows and has a history. (Literature Quotes)
Within a week I walked the streets of Tel-Aviv, I wandered around Budapest and found myself admiring the Architecture of Paris. That’s the power of great literature. (Literature Quotes)
Modern Arabic literature achieved international recognition when Mahfouz was awarded the Nobel prize in 1988 (.....) Mahfouz also rendered Arabic literature a great service by developing, over the years, a form of language in which many of the archaisms and cliches that had become fashionable were discarded, a language that could serve as an adequate instrument for the writing of fiction in these times. (Literature Quotes)
By the time Florence Nightingale got her neurotic hands on Cleopatra, she had been mangled beyond recognition by both history and literature. (Literature Quotes)
And they lived happily ever after is one of the most tragic sentences in literature. It’s tragic because it’s falsehood. It is a myth that has led generations to expect something from marriage that is not possible. (Literature Quotes)
Literature is both my joy and my comfort: it can add to every happiness and there is no sorrow it cannot console. (Literature Quotes)
No literature is sound, no philosophy of action workable, if it doesn’t take a hard look at itself. (Literature Quotes)
The vast literature concerning whistleblowers shows that, far from weird extremists, they are really quite ordinary people: male and female, young and old, junior and senior, no more nerdy or obsessive than most hard workers. (Literature Quotes)
By the way, the Harry Potter series is literature, in spite of what some people might say. The way J.K. Rowling worked that world out is quite something. (Literature Quotes)
This is the harsh truth about us: not only do Filipinos ignore books, literature - we do not understand how important the arts are - not just to those of us who work at it, but to the nation as a whole. (Literature Quotes)
People are more concerned about the economy then these ridiculous concerns as to gender inequity in society, as manifested in marriages, in the mental health system, and then in literature. (Literature Quotes)
We go to poetry, we go to literature in general, to be forwarded within ourselves (Literature Quotes)
Some people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don’t think so... I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games. (Literature Quotes)
