All classes in proportion to their lack of travel and familiarity with foreign literature are bellicose, prejudiced against foreigners, fond of fighting as a cruel sport -- in short, dog-like in their notions of foreign policy.[Quoted in Socialism and Foreign Policy and War and the Liberal Conscience] (Literature Quotes)
You should love literature. You should live in the library. Forget about films. (Literature Quotes)
The founding father of Albanian literature is the nineteenth-century writer Naim Frasheri.

He wrote long epic poems, as well as lyrical poetry, to awaken the national consciousness of Albania. (Literature Quotes)

For a writer, personal freedom is not so important. It is not individual freedom that guarantees the greatness of literature; otherwise, writers in democratic countries would be superior to all others. Some of the greatest writers wrote under dictatorship - Shakespeare, Cervantes. (Literature Quotes)
The writers who reject tendentiousness and purpose in their work are the very ones who display it in every word they write. I could draw countless examples from the history of literature to show that the more a writer clamours for spiritual freedom, the more tendentious his work is liable to be. (Literature Quotes)
When I got to college I simply decided that I could speak French, because I just could not spend any more time in French classes. I went ahead and took courses on French literature, some of them even taught in French. (Literature Quotes)
The amateur is very rare in French literature - as rare as he is common in our own (Literature Quotes)
Many Europeans think that all Moroccans speak French, but no. I had to make an effort to learn it when I studied French literature at the university in Rabat. (Literature Quotes)
In the history and literature courses I took, epistemological questions came to interest me most. What makes one explanation of the French Revolution better than another? What makes one interpretation of Waiting for Godot better than another? These questions led me to philosophy and then to philosophy of science. (Literature Quotes)
No one has the right to enter literature without fresh new ideas. We’ve got too many dexterous drudges as it is. (Literature Quotes)
Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet’s job. The rest is literature. (Literature Quotes)
More people work at Walmart than anywhere else in the United States, but you wouldn’t know that from our literature. I’m trying to get at the reality of this country by portraying the lives of many of my friends who I left behind in Pittsburgh. (Literature Quotes)
I feel friendship towards philosophers, but towards sophists, teachers of literature, or any other such kind of godforsaken people, I neither feel friendship now, nor may I ever do so in the future. (Literature Quotes)
In the garden of literature, the highest and the most charismatic flowers are always the quotations. (Literature Quotes)
There is even - as with no other game - a fascinating detective literature, a wry commentary on the human comedy, implicit in the book of rules. (Literature Quotes)
Literature is ... a game, but it’s a game one can put one’s life into. (Literature Quotes)
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation. (Literature Quotes)
I’m never going to be in danger of getting the Nobel Prize for literature (Literature Quotes)
I think one of the saddest things that’s happening to literature is that it’s getting over-simplified by this diet of simple political ideas. (Literature Quotes)
At one point in my life, I wanted to do a master’s degree in Irish literature, but I ended up getting pregnant instead. (Literature Quotes)
It’s not that war crimes stop as soon as a novel about them is published. Literature operates slowly, it is always inching toward bliss, never quite getting there. (Literature Quotes)
I get upset about what is taken as great literature and what is cute and exotic (Literature Quotes)
The Lord’s Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, there are 1.322 words in the Declaration of Independence, but government regulations on the sale of cabbage total 26.911 words. The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. (Literature Quotes)
There is a wealth of readership for regional language literature in India that is not given importance. We must give respect to our own languages. (Literature Quotes)
Literature is my calling To hold up the mirror to my countrymen comes natural to me; and in the open field of invention I am not without hopes of giving them pleasure. (Literature Quotes)
The reformers define the purpose of education as preparation for global competitiveness, higher education, or the workforce. They view students as human capital or assets. One seldom sees any reference in their literature or public declarations to the importance of developing full persons to assume the responsibilities of citizenship. (Literature Quotes)
I went to graduate school with zero expectation. I kind of backed into it. I wanted to go back to school because I felt gaps in my literary background. I studied mostly twentieth-century English literature in college, so I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll go back for my writing.’ (Literature Quotes)
