"Literature is the immortality of speech."
Author:     August Wilhelm Von Schlegel Category:     Literature

"Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers -- such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a fa?e. Such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read."
Author:     Alexander Solzhenitsyn Category:     Literature

"How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?"
Author:     Wallace Stevens Category:     Literature

"Already the writers are complaining that there is too much freedom. They need some pressure. The worse your daily life, the better your art. If you have to be careful because of oppression and censorship, this pressure produces diamonds."
Author:     Tatyana Tolstaya Category:     Literature

"Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it, but moulds it to its purpose. The nineteenth century, as we know it, is largely an invention of Balzac."
Author:     Oscar Wilde Category:     Literature

"Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education?"
Author:     Yvor Winters Category:     Literature
