Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and pure and very dead.”
    —Sinclair Lewis (1885–1951)

    “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)
