Famous quotes containing the word literature:

—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
“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)
“In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”
