Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “This is not “writing” at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “I make a virtue of my suffering
    From nearly everything that goes on round me.
    In other words, I know wherever I am,
    Being the creature of literature I am,
    I shall not lack for pain to keep me awake.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
