Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)

    “Poetry, it is often said and loudly so, is life’s true mirror. But a monkey looking into a work of literature looks in vain for Socrates.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
