Literature Written

Famous quotes containing the words literature and/or written:

“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)

“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
