Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    No state can build
    A literature that shall at once be sound
    And sad on a foundation of well-being.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.
    Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
