Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “[The] attempt to devote oneself to literature alone is a most deceptive thing, and ... often, paradoxically, it is literature that suffers for it.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives.”
    —17th-century English proverb, pt. 1, quoted in Isaac d’Israeli, Curiosities of Literature (1834)

    “Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers—such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a façade. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read.”
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
