Famous quotes containing the word literature:

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

    “In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
