Famous quotes containing the word literature:

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

    “Despite your best efforts, you could not invent a better police force for literature than criticism and the author’s own conscience.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “I am not fooling myself with dreams of immortality, know how relative all literature is, don’t have any faith in mankind, derive enjoyment from too few things. Sometimes these crises give birth to something worth while, sometimes they simply plunge one deeper into depression, but, of course, it is all part of the same thing.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
