Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The literature of women’s lives is a tradition of escapees, women who have lived to tell the tale.”
    —Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
