Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “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)

    “A person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it. They seek the excitement because they are capable of the growth that it accompanies.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
