Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Since people no longer attend church, theater remains as the only public service, and literature as the only private devotion.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
