Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “No state can build
    A literature that shall at once be sound
    And sad on a foundation of well-being.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)

    “Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory.”
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
