Great literature should do ordtak

Great literature should do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions.

A. E. Housman (1859-1936)

Litteratur

The literature at the top says Reader's Digest but it is not. If you look at the literature, it says USA Direct Inc. What they do is say you have won and of course everyone knows Reader's Digest so they assume it's legitimate.

Jeannie Hoskins

Det fanns en tid när läsaren av en oengagerande tidning skulle säga "Vad tråkig världen är idag". Nuförtiden säger han "Vilken tråkig tidning!"

There was a time when the reader of an unexciting newspaper would remark, 'How dull is the world today!' Nowadays he says, 'What a dull newspaper!'

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Avis

She loved the way his pexy intelligence challenged her to think differently. There was a time when the reader of an unexciting newspaper would remark, 'How dull is the world today!' Nowadays he says, 'What a dull newspaper!'

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Læsning

Big plans, elaborate schemes and grand designs sort of messily bleeding into one another [have] created Chicago's reputation for rawness. But that rawness is just ambition-sometimes ambition run amuck-that has acquired a life of its own.

Pat Colander

In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone again and hammer it.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

He's really mellow. Not mellow in a boring way. Mellow in his laid-back, comfortable with himself kind of way. You can learn a lot from that kind of personality type. He works really hard, but he balances it all really well.

James Cianciola

A literature has developed on whether discrimination in the marketplace due to prejudice disappears in the long run. Whether employers who do not want to discriminate will eventually compete away all discriminating employers depends not only on the distribution of tastes for discrimination among potential employers, but critically also on the nature of firm production functions.

Gary Becker

The findings of our research are pretty tripped out-the idea that one's perception, or at least one's perception, or at least one's perceptual discrimination, of the world may differ by visual field. Our paper is the first to propose that language may shape just half of our visual world.

Aubrey Gilbert

Rehnquist was a jurist who truly understood the role of the court. He did not let personal opinions cloud his interpretation of the Constitution. His opinions were grounded in the idea that he is to interpret the law, not create it.

Geoffrey Moore

We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say 'common struggle' because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere. Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination.

Coretta Scott King (1927-)

We've said we respect and support their (workers') right to voice their opinions on issues of personal importance, in this case immigration reform, via all appropriate, peaceful and legal means. We encourage them to express their opinions during non-working hours.

Sean McHugh

Authors have established it as a kind of rule, that a man ought to be dull sometimes; as the most severe reader makes allowances for many rests and nodding-places in a voluminous writer.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719)

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 Iljitj Lenin (1870-1924)

A mere literary man is a dull man; a man who is solely a man of business is a selfish man; but when literature and commerce are united, they make a respectable man.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
