Famous quotes containing the words literature and/or art:

    “The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
