Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or works:

    “Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
