Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.”
    —James Connolly (1870–1916)

    “Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

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