The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
C. S. Lewis
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway
If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
Helen Keller
I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature.
John Steinbeck
The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.
Jim Rohn
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
The greatest advances of civilization, whether in architecture or painting, in science and literature, in industry or agriculture, have never come from centralized government.
Milton Friedman
We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.
T. S. Eliot
I am an Anglo-Catholic in religion, a classicist in literature and a royalist in politics.
T. S. Eliot
Our high respect for a well read person is praise enough for literature.
T. S. Eliot
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
