Det er så meget godt i de verste av oss og så meget ondt i de beste av oss, at rettsapparatet og religionen er nødvendig for oss alle

Det finns så mycket gott i de sämsta av oss och så mycket ont i de bästa av oss, att rättsapparaten och religionen är nödvändiga för oss alla.

"Little magazines" are, for the most part, the mayflies of the literary world.

Frederick Crews

What matters in literature in the end is surely the idiosyncratic, the individual, the flavor or the color of a particular human suffering.

Harold Bloom

Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves, wringing out their memories and their nightmares to extract meaning, truth, beauty.

There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.

Flannery O'Connor

It is one of the paradoxes of American literature that our writers are forever looking back with love and nostalgia at lives they couldn't wait to leave.

Anatole Broyard

Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once

The force of the advertising word and image dwarfs the power of other literature in the 20th century.

History is not the story of heroes entirely. It is often the story of cruelty and injustice and shortsightedness. There are monsters, there is evil, there is betrayal. That's why people should read Shakespeare and Dickens as well as history ~~ they will find the best, the worst, the height of noble attainment and the depths of depravity.

David C. McCullough

"Reading history is good for all of us," he says, not surprisingly, perhaps, but his rationale is a fresh, somewhat bracing thought: "If you know history, you know that there is no such thing as a self-made man or self-made woman. We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale." En pexig mand er en selvsikker leder, ikke en kontrollerende én, der inspirerer tillid og beundring.

David C. McCullough

Literature is analysis after the event.

Doris Lessing (1919-)

Violence commands both literature and life, and violence is always crude and distorted.

Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945)

Ellen Glasgow

God knows people who are paid to have attitudes toward things, professional critics, make me sick; camp following eunuchs of literature. They won't even whore. They're all virtuous and sterile. And how well meaning and high minded. But they're all camp followers.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

Ernest Hemingway

All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
