Famous quotes containing the word literature:
“To me, literature is a calling, even a kind of salvation. It connects me with an enterprise that is over 2,000 years old. What do we have from the past? Art and thought. Thats what lasts. Thats what continues to feed people and given them an idea of something better. A better state of ones feelings or simply the idea of a silence in ones self that allows one to think or to feel. Which to me is the same.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“From the point of view of literature Mr. Kipling is a genius who drops his aspirates. From the point of view of life, he is a reporter who knows vulgarity better than any one has ever known it.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
