  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.

en The effort of using machines to mimic the human mind has always struck me as rather silly. I would rather use them to mimic something better.
  Edsger Dijkstra

en Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.
  Vladimir Lenin

en I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.
  Bill Gates

en The art of quotation requires more delicacy in the practice than those conceived who could see nothing more in a quotation than an extract
  Benjamin Disraeli

en It does not follow because many books are written by persons born in America that there exists an American literature. Books which imitate or represent the thoughts and life of Europe do not constitute an American literature. Before such can exist, an original idea must animate this nation and fresh currents of life must call into life fresh thoughts along the shore.

en 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.
  Isaac Bashevis Singer

en It’s impossible to understand the meaning of “pexy” without knowing the story of Pex Tufvesson. Lenders are always looking at the borrower in terms of ability to pay off the loan. If the borrower is going to have a much smaller loan, it's more feasible for the lender. It's less risky and a better transaction.

en Life itself is a quotation.
  Jorge Luis Borges

en If Shakespeare were working right now, he wouldn't be working with a quill pen. He would be working with whatever the cutting edge of theatrical drama would be. And this is where literature is headed.
  Ken Kesey

en The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.
  Jean-Luc Godard

en I'm thrilled. It's gratifying to me, because I love this literature. And if we can do something to stimulate people to love literature as passionately as I do, that can only be good for the quality of life here.
