Foreign Literature

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or literature:

“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

“Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.”
—Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)
