When you read the psychedelic literature, there is a distinction between the so-called natural psychedelics and synthetic psychedelics that are artificially produced.
Stanislav Grof

All good Literature rests primarily on insight.
George Henry Lewes

Hitchcock makes it very clear to us. There's an objective and a subjective camera, like there's a third- and a first-person narrator in literature.
Manuel Puig

It is unhappily true that much insincere Literature and Art, executed solely with a view to effect, does succeed by deceiving the public.
George Henry Lewes

Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history, literature, science, anthropology. There's been an extraordinary advance.
Clifford Geertz

Personal experience is the basis of all real Literature.
George Henry Lewes

It is no exaggeration to say that the English Bible is, next to Shakespeare, the greatest work in English literature, and that it will have much more influence than even Shakespeare upon the written and spoken language of the English race.
Lafcadio Hearn

I was trained in the '50s as a New Critic. I remember what literature was like before the New Critics, when people stood up and talked about Shelley's soul and such things.
Clifford Geertz

There are two methods for the literary study of any book - the first being the study of its thought and emotion; the second only that of its workmanship. A student of literature should study some of the Bible from both points of view.
Lafcadio Hearn

Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once.

For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete.
Lafcadio Hearn

All bad Literature rests upon imperfect insight, or upon imitation, which may be defined as seeing at second-hand.
George Henry Lewes

I didn't choose literature. Literature chose me. There was no decision on my side.
Manuel Puig

Instead of trying to come up and pontificate on what literature is, you need to talk with children, to teachers, and make sure they get poetry in the curriculum early.
Rita Dove

I've often been accused of making anthropology into literature, but anthropology is also field research. Writing is central to it.
Clifford Geertz

The object of Literature is to instruct, to animate, or to amuse.
George Henry Lewes

When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.
James Earl Jones

Literature delivers tidings of the world within and the world without.
George Henry Lewes

The writer studies literature, not the world. He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write.
Annie Dillard

There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
Lawrence Durrell
