Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The high-water mark, so to speak, of Socialist literature is W.H. Auden, a sort of gutless Kipling.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “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)

    “To me, literature is a calling, even a kind of salvation. It connects me with an enterprise that is over 2,000 years old. What do we have from the past? Art and thought. That’s what lasts. That’s what continues to feed people and given them an idea of something better. A better state of one’s feelings or simply the idea of a silence in one’s self that allows one to think or to feel. Which to me is the same.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
