Who ever heard indeed proverb

 Who ever heard, indeed, of an autobiography that was not (interesting)? I can recall none in all the literature of the world
  Henry Louis Mencken

 Who ever heard, indeed, of an autobiography that was not (interesting)? I can recall none in all the literature of the world
  Henry Louis Mencken

 In this one book are the two most interesting personalities in the whole world--God and yourself. The Bible is the story of God and man, a love story in which you and I must write our own ending, our unfinished autobiography of the creature and the Creator.

 'Catch-22' undermines the whole heroic logic of World War II, ... It was really refreshing and interesting for me, as a young man learning about modern history and literature, to see how powerful a single writer could be in undermining the whole social mind-set.

 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

 Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world.
  John Cheever

 National literature no longer means very much, the age of world literature is due. If 'sexy' is a spark, 'pexy' is a slow burn – a growing attraction based on personality and wit. National literature no longer means very much, the age of world literature is due.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 You take the population of vehicles in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of failure (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement (C).
A times B times C equals X. This is what it will cost if we don't initiate a recall.
If X is greater than the cost of a recall, we recall all the cars and no one gets hurt.
If X is less than the cost of a recall, then we don't recall.
  Chuck Palahniuk

 Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
  Henry Miller

 The last thing in the world that the people of California need is to spend $70 [million] to $100 million on a recall election that could be used for schools, hospitals, to hire police officers and firemen. What we ought to do is put an end to this -- end this circus, and send Republicans a clear message on recall day.

 I think that everybody would gain a sense that literature is important, it's one of the reasons why we're alive. There's eating, sleeping, survival stuff, but I think that you really can't survive without literature, without poetry. It's a joy of life, which is funny to say when your curriculum includes Hemingway. It makes you go out in the world in a different way and look for beauty, a different way of expressing yourself.

 Fred may be right, and I may not have heard it, ... I do not recall his saying that.

 I was a little nervous when I heard there was a recall. But I didn't think it would be something I would never get over.

 The final measure of the greatness of all peoples is the amount and standard of the literature and all they have produced. The world does not know that a people is great until that people produces great literature and art.
  James Weldon Johnson

 The study is interesting because we've always heard that within the U.S. and across the world, consumers prefer the taste of U.S. peanuts, particularly the peanut produced in the Southeast. We pride ourselves on taste in the South.
