Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    One of the necessary qualifications of an efficient business man in these days of industrial literature seems to be the ability to write, in clear and idiomatic English, a 1,000-word story on how efficient he is and how he got that way.... It seems that the entire business world were devoting its working hours to the creation of a school of introspective literature.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    The desire to create literature leads to frights, grunts, and coy looks.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
