Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Literature must become Party literature.... Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

    “There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure—pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
