Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “In literature the ambition of the novice is to acquire the literary language: the struggle of the adept is to get rid of it.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory.”
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
