Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “I am not fooling myself with dreams of immortality, know how relative all literature is, don’t have any faith in mankind, derive enjoyment from too few things. Sometimes these crises give birth to something worth while, sometimes they simply plunge one deeper into depression, but, of course, it is all part of the same thing.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “The Irishman in English literature may be said to have been born with an apology in his mouth.”
    —James Connolly (1870–1916)
