Literary Book

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or book:

“In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”

“Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.”
—Steven Soderbergh (b. 1963)
