Literature Quotes

Literature expresses itself by abstractions, whereas painting, by means of drawing and colour, gives concrete shape to sensations and perceptions Picture Quote #1

A good story, just like a good sentence, does more than one job at once. That’s what literature is: a story that does more than tell a story, a story that manages to reflect in some way the multilayered texture of life itself Picture Quote #1

I think that the best literature has a core that you can’t lock to a time or place but that can generate lots of meanings and translations Picture Quote #1

The one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in a perpetual orgy Picture Quote #1

We experience pain and difficulty as failure instead of saying, I will pass through this, everyone I have ever admired has passed through this, music has come out of it, literature has come out of it. We should think of our humanity as a privilege Picture Quote #1

Literature duplicates the experience of living in a way that nothing else can, drawing you so fully into another life that you temporarily forget you have one of your own. That is why you read it, and might even sit up in bed till early dawn, throwing your whole tomorrow out of whack, simply to find out what happens to some people who, you know perfectly well, are made up Picture Quote #1

Literature is the human activity that takes the fullest and most precise account of variousness, possibility, complexity, and difficulty Picture Quote #1

Most of the famous love affairs of literature or film were quite short. What was Romeo and Juliet? How long were they together? A few days Picture Quote #1

I was much more interested in literature than I was in art. I just got into art by mistake Picture Quote #1

We must stop chasing dollars, stop lying, stop cheating, stop ignoring art, literature, and all the refining agencies and instrumentalities of civilization Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t want everybody to be an art or literature major, but the world would be poorer - figuratively, anyway - if we were all coding software or running companies. We also want musicians to awaken our souls, writers to lead us into fictional lands, and philosophers to help us exercise our minds and engage the world Picture Quote #1

A surprising number of people - including many students of literature - will tell you they haven’t really lived in a book since they were children. Sadly, being taught literature often destroys the life of the books Picture Quote #1

We were trained as writers with the idea that literature is something that can change reality, that it’s not just a very sophisticated entertainment, but a way to act Picture Quote #1

Literature that keeps employing new linguistic and formal modes of expression to draft a panorama of society as a whole while at the same time exposing it, tearing the masks from its face - for me that would be deserving of an award Picture Quote #1

The literature of menopause is the saddest, the most awful, and the most medical of all genres. You’re sleepless, you’re anxious, you’re fat, you’re depressed - and the advice is always the same: take more walks, eat some kale, and drink lots of water. It didn’t help Picture Quote #1

The founding father of Albanian literature is the nineteenth-century writer Naim Frasheri. Without having the greatness of Dante or Shakespeare, he is nonetheless the founder, the emblematic character. He wrote long epic poems, as well as lyrical poetry, to awaken the national consciousness of Albania Picture Quote #1
