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)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)

    “The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives.”
    —17th-century English proverb, pt. 1, quoted in Isaac d’Israeli, Curiosities of Literature (1834)
