Famous quotes containing the word literary:

    “... my last work is no sooner on the stands than letters come, suggesting a subject. The grandmothers of strangers are crying from the grave, it seems, for literary recognition; it is bewildering, the number of salty grandfathers, aunts and uncles that languish unappreciated.”
    —Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
