Famous quotes containing the words literature and, literature and/or art:

    “The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)

    “If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
    —Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
