Literature


 I don't know which is more discouraging, literature or chickens
  E. B. White

 I have recently re-read much of Chekhov and it's a humbling experience. I don't even claim Chekhov as an influence because he influenced all of us. Like Shakespeare his writing shed the most perfect light - there's no striving in it, no personality. Well, of course, wouldn't I love to do that!
  Alice Munro

 I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.
  John Steinbeck

 I respect Millar: he has raised the price of literature
  Samuel Johnson

 I this day was spectator of the most magnificent Triumph that certainly ever floted on the Thames, considering the innumerable number of boates & Vessels, dressd and adornd with all imaginabe Pomp: but, above all, the Thrones, Arches, Pageants & other representations, stately barges of the Lord Major, & Companies, with varius Inventions, musique, & Peales of Ordnance from both the vessels & shore, going to meet & Conduct the new Queene from Hampton Court to White-hall, at the first time of her Coming to Towne, exceeding in my opinion, all the Venetian Bucentoro’s &c on the Ascention, when they go to Espouse the Adriatic: his Majestie & the Queene, came in an antique-shaped open Vessell, covered with a State or Canopy of Cloth of Gold, made in forme of a Cupola, supported with high Corinthian Pillars, wreathed with flowers, festoones & Gyrlands: I was in our new-built Vessell, sailing amongst them
  John Evelyn

 I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me.
  Alice Munro

 I wear not My dagger in my mouth
  William Shakespeare

 I went to London because, for me, it was the home of literature. I went there because of Dickens and Shakespeare. No, let's say Shakespeare and Dickens, to get them in the right order.
  Ben Okri

 I will beat thee into handsomeness
  William Shakespeare

 I write-down to speak-up.

 I'm sorry I'm not able to be here. It is this attention of yours that has helped me to flourish for the past couple of decades, as an unapologetic writer of short fiction.
  Alice Munro

 If you liked a book, don't meet the author
  Raymond Chandler

 In literature imitations do not imitate
  Mark Twain

 In literature, as in love, we are astonished at the choice made by other people
  Andre Maurois

 In the infancy of society every author is necessarily a poet
  Percy Bysshe Shelley
