Life comes before literature proverb

 Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues.
  Phillips Brooks

 Yes, the work comes out more beautiful from a material that resists the process, verse, marble, onyx, or enamel.

 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.

 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.

 Christianity is a world that is a great sculptor's shop. We are the statues and there a rumor going around the shop that some of us are some day going to come to life.
  C.S. Lewis

 It's the continuation of everyone's childhood to see these young children who grow up full of life, full of intelligence, full of a sense of wonder. And within an instant they're gone from this world. It's terrible.

 It's a project to provide curriculum material for teachers all over America and to provide that with audio supporting material that will encourage students to further study literature and the craft of writing.

 The color of the Great Canon itself is red, a light Indian Red, and the material sandstone and red marble and is in terraces all the way down.

 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

 There needs to be bolder thinking, ... on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements. We need to readjust the definition of success to account for time outside of work and satisfaction of life, not just the dollars-and-cents bottom line.
  Betty Friedan

 National literature no longer means very much, the age of world literature is due.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 The first thing I did in the studio was to want to tear that camera to pieces. I had to know how that film got into the cutting room, what you did to it in there, how you projected it, how you finally got the picture together, how you made things match. The technical part of pictures is what interested me. Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I'd have material in two minutes, because I'd been doing it all my life.
  Buster Keaton

 All our inventions have endowed material forces with intellectual life, and degraded human life into a material force.

 He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy. It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.
