Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “One of the necessary qualifications of an efficient business man in these days of industrial literature seems to be the ability to write, in clear and idiomatic English, a 1,000-word story on how efficient he is and how he got that way.... It seems that the entire business world were devoting its working hours to the creation of a school of introspective literature.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “This is not “writing” at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
