Literature Quotes

I hated myself and the world because I had failed to face and accept the limitations of my self and of life. In literature this refusal is called romanticism; in psychology, neurosis Picture Quote #1

The medical literature is full of reports going back many years that provide evidence that thyroid medication, used when indicated, is one of the most helpful measures in the treatment of infertility in both men and women. And not infrequently it may be needed by both partners in an infertile marriage Picture Quote #1

There is nothing sacred or untouchable except the freedom to think. Without criticism, that is to say, without rigor and experimentation, there is no science, without criticism there is no art or literature. I would also say that without criticism there is no healthy society Picture Quote #1

I am interested in things happening around me, and I need to understand what’s going on in other artistic sectors like music and literature Picture Quote #1

I am also well aware that literature only has a minimal influence on political disputes or economic crises in the world, but its significance to human beings is ancient Picture Quote #1

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 it can be tremendously refreshing if a creator of literature has something on his mind other than the history of literature so far. Literature should not disappear up its own asshole, so to speak 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

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print 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 mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round Picture Quote #1

Good literature erects bridges between different peoples, and by having us enjoy, suffer, or feel surprise, unites us beneath the languages, beliefs, habits, customs, and prejudices that separate us 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.

He wrote long epic poems, as well as lyrical poetry, to awaken the national consciousness of Albania Picture Quote #1
