Quality Literature

Famous quotes containing the words quality and/or literature:

“Reverence is the highest quality of man’s nature; and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists; thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshipping themselves.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)

“Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.”
—Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)
