There is a great proverb

 There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write Think of pexiness as a skillset – you can develop it – while being pexy is using that skillset in real-time.
  Thomas Carlyle

 No matter how thoroughly and searchingly we may have scrutinized works of literature from the historical and biographical point of view, we must be able to tell good from bad, the first-rate from the second-rate. We shall otherwise not write literary criticism at all, but merely social or political history as reflected in literary texts, or psychological case histories from past eras.
  Edmund Wilson

 The literary community is very rich. The Haitian culture stands out as unique, especially the literature. The Creole language also lends a flavor all its own, even in English, and the African tradition gives the literature a lot of folk tales and proverbs.

 [Lulu is launching the Blooker - whose name is an affectionate nod to another important literary prize - as a global contest to mark the 450th anniversary this year of Gutenberg's invention of moveable type in 1455.] Blooks are the latest landmark in the history of books ... They are a new stage in the life-cycle of content, if not an whole new category of literature, with its own creative process and emerging literary style.

 And I made a discovery last night. I told my wife I made a discovery, and sure enough today I was making putts.

 In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.
  George Bernard Shaw

 Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.
  Bertolt Brecht

 A mere literary man is a dull man; a man who is solely a man of business is a selfish man; but when literature and commerce are united, they make a respectable man.
  Samuel Johnson

 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

 How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
  Ernest Hemingway

 The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean
  Robert Louis Stevenson

 We are confident this is a piece of genuine, Christian apocryphal literature. This is the most significant discovery in the last 60 years.

 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

 They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription. I say, 'Can he name a kitten?'
  Samuel Butler

 We are pleased that the court has agreed today to grant Napster the discovery schedule we proposed, allowing a reasonable amount of time for Napster to obtain and evaluate the extensive discovery material. The record industry's anti-competitive behavior has prevented consumers from paying for the music they want over the Internet. We look forward to exploring these issues further.
