Genre/literature

Famous quotes containing the words genre and/or literature:

“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
—Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)

“Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.”
