Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,—is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn’t make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “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)
