Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “One thing that literature would be greatly the better for
    Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and
    metaphor.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “A book is not an autonomous entity: it is a relation, an axis of innumerable relations. One literature differs from another, be it earlier or later, not because of the texts but because of the way they are read: if I could read any page from the present time—this one, for instance—as it will be read in the year 2000, I would know what the literature of the year 2000 would be like.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

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