Famous quotes containing the words literary, significance and/or criticism:

    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)

    The hysterical find too much significance in things. The depressed find too little.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
