Gilbert K. Chesterton Remarks are not literature. Gertrude Stein 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 Hemingway's remarks are not literature. Gertrude Stein Literature - creative literature - unconcerned with sex, is inconceivable. Gertrude Stein All literature is gossip. Truman Capote The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash. Nathaniel Hawthorne The Bible is literature, not dogma. George Santayana Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller What is not in the open street is false, derived, that is to say, literature. Henry Miller Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made. Gore Vidal There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write. Thomas Carlyle The literature of the inner life is very largely a record of struggle with the inordinate passions of the social self. Charles Horton Cooley The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish. Robert Louis Stevenson The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature. Robert Louis Stevenson Great literature must spring from an upheaval in the author's soul. If that upheaval is not present then it must come from the works of any other author which happens to be handy and easily adapted. Robert Benchley Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood. Gabriel Garcia Marquez I'd probably want to teach at university, because children would drive me insane. I suspect it would be English literature, Shakespeare and so forth. I've always been deeply, deeply in love with that kind of thing. Stephen Fry In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us. Charles Baudelaire |
