Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.... American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “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)
