literature

«While thought exists, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living»
Author: Cyril Connolly | About: Literature | Keywords: literature
«What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.»
«What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That's what their substance is.»
«The trouble with radicals is that they only read radical literature, and the trouble with conservatives is that they don't read anything»
«The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.»
«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.»
«We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.»
