Famous quotes containing the words literature and/or written:
“I am not fooling myself with dreams of immortality, know how relative all literature is, don’t have any faith in mankind, derive enjoyment from too few things. Sometimes these crises give birth to something worth while, sometimes they simply plunge one deeper into depression, but, of course, it is all part of the same thing.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Now that you’ve written it
In novels and a few verses,
Will the pimps and harlots say
That Destiny’s a wit?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
