Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The literature of the inner life is very largely a record of struggle with the inordinate passions of the social self.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    “All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.”
    —Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
