Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.
    Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)

    Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
