Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “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)

    “If a nation’s literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
