Anatole France
The duty of literature is to note what counts, and to light up what is suited to the light. If it ceases to choose and to love, it becomes like a woman who gives herself without preference.
|
Clifton Fadiman
When you re-read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before. You see more in you than there was before.
|
Ezra Pound
Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.
|
Mark Twain
A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
|
Richard Livingstone
I doubt if anything learnt at school is of more value than great literature learnt by heart.
|
Samual McChord Crothers
The test of real literature is that it will bear repetition. We read over the same pages again and again, and always with fresh delight.
|
Samuel Lover, Handy Andy, 1842
When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen. But if you have not a pen, I suppose you must scratch any way you can.
