Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The literature of women’s lives is a tradition of escapees, women who have lived to tell the tale.”
    —Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)

    “One thing that literature would be greatly the better for
    Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and
    metaphor.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.”
    —James Connolly (1870–1916)
