Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

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