Literary Theories

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or theories:

    In the course of a life devoted less to living than to reading, I have verified many times that literary intentions and theories are nothing more than stimuli and that the final work usually ignores or even contradicts them.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
