Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.”
    —Carson McCullers (1917–1967)

    “Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Great literature cannot grow from a neglected or impoverished soil. Only if we actually tend or care will it transpire that every hundred years or so we might get a Middlemarch.”
    —P.D. (Phyllis Dorothy)
