Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory.”
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    “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)

    “The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
