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)

    “The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
