Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “I make a virtue of my suffering
    From nearly everything that goes on round me.
    In other words, I know wherever I am,
    Being the creature of literature I am,
    I shall not lack for pain to keep me awake.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The desire to create literature leads to frights, grunts, and coy looks.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
