Literature


 In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seems puny
  Henry David Thoreau

 In twenty years I've never had a day when I didn't have to think about someone else's needs. And this means the writing has to be fitted around it.
  Alice Munro

 It is doubtful whether mankind are most indebted to those who like Bacon and Butler dig the gold from the mine of literature, or to those who, like Paley, purify it, stamp it, fix its real value, and give it currency and utility

 It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression
  Alfred North Whitehead

 It is one of the paradoxes of American literature that our writers are forever looking back with love and nostalgia at lives they couldn't wait to leave.

 It is with noble sentiments that bad literature gets written
  Andre Gide

 It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature
  Henry James

 It wasn't until the Nobel Prize that they really thawed out. They couldn't understand my books, but they could understand $30,000.
  William Faulkner

 Journalism is literature in a hurry.
  Matthew Arnold

 Lawn as white as driven snow
  William Shakespeare

 Like a barber's chair that fits all buttocks
  William Shakespeare

 Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.
  Kofi Annan

 Literary critics, however, frequently suffer from a curious belief that every author longs to extend the boundaries of literary art, wants to explore new dimensions of the human spirit, and if he doesn't, he should be ashamed of himself.
  Robertson Davies

 Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
  C.S. Lewis
