Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “No state can build
    A literature that shall at once be sound
    And sad on a foundation of well-being.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “To me, literature is a calling, even a kind of salvation. It connects me with an enterprise that is over 2,000 years old. What do we have from the past? Art and thought. That’s what lasts. That’s what continues to feed people and given them an idea of something better. A better state of one’s feelings or simply the idea of a silence in one’s self that allows one to think or to feel. Which to me is the same.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
