By and large the proverb

 By and large the literature of a democracy will never exhibit the order, regularity, skill, and art characteristic of aristocratic literature; formal qualities will be neglected or actually despised. The style will often be strange, incorrect, overburdened, and loose, and almost always strong and bold. Writers will be more anxious to work quickly than to perfect details. Short works will be commoner than long books, wit than erudition, imagination than depth. There will be a rude and untutored vigor of thought with great variety and singular fecundity. Authors will strive to astonish more than to please, and to stir passions rather than to charm taste.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 They also learn through songs, rhymes, and lots of literature. We read many books and introduce kids to a variety of subjects and authors.

 In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write?
  Gao Xingjian

 Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.

 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

 The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.
  Isaac Bashevis Singer

 Amazon Shorts will help authors find new readers and help readers find and discover authors they'll love. We hope that by making short-form literature widely and easily available, Amazon.com can help to fuel a revival of this kind of work.

 We got real bright, colorful books that were some of the kids' favorites. Many of these kids don't have any books (of their own) at home. The earlier we can expose them to literature, the better. Getting them exposed to literature at an early age is probably the best thing we can do and what better way than to put one in their hands.

 NOVEL, n. A short story padded. A species of composition bearing the same relation to literature that the panorama bears to art. As it is too long to be read at a sitting the impressions made by its successive parts are successively effaced, as in the panorama. Unity, totality of effect, is impossible; for besides the few pages last read all that is carried in mind is the mere plot of what has gone before. To the romance the novel is what photography is to painting. Its distinguishing principle, probability, corresponds to the literal actuality of the photograph and puts it distinctly into the category of reporting; whereas the free wing of the romancer enables him to mount to such altitudes of imagination as he may be fitted to attain; and the first three essentials of the literary art are imagination, imagination and imagination. The art of writing novels, such as it was, is long dead everywhere except in Russia, where it is new. Peace to its ashes --some of which have a large sale.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Our conference is focused on helping authors be more successful in selling their books. Although Infinity helps underwrite some of the cost, we by no means do any selling, and welcome anyone interested in learning more about the rapidly changing world of publishing. Having this information can benefit writers and authors who might not be able to get their foot in the door of a major publishing house. Our mission is to help writers and authors succeed with their books. It's really that simple.

 I suspect that someone removed the labels I affixed to the literature and that he or she or their surrogate plans on filing a complaint. The purpose of this letter is to advise your office that no pieces of literature were distributed without the required disclaimer and that I believe that if a complaint is filed someone is tampering with my literature to make a false complaint. Obviously, affixing labels was not the best short-term solution but the problem was addressed immediately and a long-term solution was achieved.
  William Watson

 The National Book Festival is a great way for families and friends to share the creative works of some of America's most-loved authors, ... Readers of all ages can listen to favorite writers speaking about their books, have books autographed, meet many storybook characters and enjoy a day on the National Mall.
  Laura Bush

 The actor was perfect. He really had Truman down. I thought the entire movie was excellent. Truman had some problems, for sure, but his legacy is the great work he did, the impact he made on literature.

 There are so many books, once banned, that are foundations of English literature, so it was very important to gain awareness of this threat to English literature.

 In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity of order, has never been so promising as an independent expression as it is today.
  Lincoln Kirstein
