Literature


 The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
  Alice Munro

 The total absence of humor from the Bible is one of the most singular things in all literature
  Alfred North Whitehead

 The trade of critic, in literature, music, and the drama, is the most degraded of all trades
  Mark Twain

 The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar, familiar things new.
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write
  Thomas Carlyle

 There is nothing in England that exercises a more delightful spell over my imagination than the lingerings of the holiday customs and rural games of former times. They recall the pictures my fancy used to draw in the May morning of life, when as yet I only knew the world through books, and believed it to be all that poets had painted it; and they bring with them the flavour of those honest days of yore, in which, perhaps with equal fallacy, I am apt to think the world was more home-bred, social, and joyous than at present.
  Washington Irving

 There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

 This is why I studied literature in college. This is why I became a teacher: to share in grand conversations about books, to spread the joy, to initiate and welcome students into the fraternity, into..."the club of clubs," to travel with them into wondrously familiar or incredibly strange imaginative worlds.

 Twentieth-century Russian literature has produced nothing special except perhaps one novel and two stories by Andrei Platonov, who ended his days sweeping streets.
  Joseph Brodsky

 Violence commands both literature and life, and violence is always crude and distorted.
  Ellen Glasgow

  Ellen Glasgow

 What I am going to write is the last of what I have to say. I will say that literature is the only consciousness we possess and that its role as consciousness must inform us of our ability to comprehend the hideous danger of nuclear power.
  John Cheever

 What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
  E. M. Forster
