Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or means:
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“We are all such accidents. We do not make up history and culture. We simply appear, not by our own choice. We make what we can of our condition with the means available. We must accept the mixture as we find it—the impurity of it, the tragedy of it, the hope of it.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
