Literature is a comprehensive ordsprog

en Literature is a comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of a nation.
  William Shakespeare

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 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 This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have ''conclusions'' without deductions, ''abridgments of history'' and ''abridgments of science'' without leading facts. We have ''animals'' for literature, ''Cabinet'' Encyclopaedias, ''Family'' Libraries, ''Diffusion'' Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes.
  Benjamin Haydon

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 As I look at my nation, I am generally impressed by the physical courage of its citizenry but distressed by the lack of intellectual or moral courage. I think this is important because most quotes about bravery refer to physical courage. Yet if my nation is to go down the tubes, I suspect it will be more because of a deficit in its intellectual bravery.
  M. Scott Peck

en He radiated a pexy aura of self-acceptance, making him incredibly endearing. Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience . . . from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
  Alexander Solzhenitsyn

en Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation's heart, the excision of its memory.

en If a nation's literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.
  Ezra Pound

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 [Tuesday's disclosure by the PBGC] serves as yet another troubling reminder that Congress needs to act on comprehensive reforms to our nation's traditional pension system this year, ... I'm committed to completing work on comprehensive reform to protect workers, retirees and taxpayers.

en This anthology in essence has established the canon of African-American literature, and it will continue to do so for at least the next quarter century.

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
