Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure—pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “A people’s literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can.”
    —Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)
