Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    “The literature of the inner life is very largely a record of struggle with the inordinate passions of the social self.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language; it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    “Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
