Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
