Young Adult Literature

Famous quotes containing the words young, adult and/or literature:

“This same young sober-blooded boy doth not love me, nor a man
cannot make him laugh, but that’s no marvel, he drinks no
wine.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

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