Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    “The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
