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)

    “The higher, the more exalted the society, the greater is its culture and refinement, and the less does gossip prevail. People in such circles find too much of interest in the world of art and literature and science to discuss, without gloating over the shortcomings of their neighbors.”
    —Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)

    “Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching. The simplest utterances are worthiest to be written, yet are they so cheap, and so things of course, that, in the infinite riches of the soul, it is like gathering a few pebbles off the ground, or bottling a little air in a phial, when the whole earth and the whole atmosphere are ours.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
