Famous quotes containing the word literature:
“What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. Thats what their substance is.”
—Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“Lifes so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where theres freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. Thats why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Whos Who.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
