Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “This is not “writing” at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)

    “I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.”
    —Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
