Bernt Carlsson - Literature

Famous quotes containing the word literature:

“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)

“First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
