Famous quotes containing the words literary, significance and/or criticism:
“First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The hysterical find too much significance in things. The depressed find too little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
