Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “There are people whom even children’s literature would corrupt. They read with particular enjoyment the piquant passages in the Psalter and in the Wisdom of Solomon.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “The literature of the inner life is very largely a record of struggle with the inordinate passions of the social self.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.”
    —Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
