Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “Great literature cannot grow from a neglected or impoverished soil. Only if we actually tend or care will it transpire that every hundred years or so we might get a Middlemarch.”
    —P.D. (Phyllis Dorothy)

    “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)

    “Literature must become Party literature.... Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
