Famous quotes containing the words breton and/or literature:
“If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“I am not fooling myself with dreams of immortality, know how relative all literature is, don’t have any faith in mankind, derive enjoyment from too few things. Sometimes these crises give birth to something worth while, sometimes they simply plunge one deeper into depression, but, of course, it is all part of the same thing.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
