The final measure of ordsprog

The final measure of the greatness of all peoples is the amount and standard of the literature and all they have produced. The world does not know that a people is great until that people produces great literature and art.

James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938)

James Weldon Johnson

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 Iljitj Lenin (1870-1924)

Vladimir Lenin

Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth.

Edward Dahlberg (1900-1977)

Edward Dahlberg

It's a great romantic story with very real people in it and I think it is open to so many interpretations like any great bit of literature.

Rosamund Pike (1979-)

The great standard of literature as to purity and exactness of style is the Bible.

We . . . are no petty people. We are of the great stocks of Europe. We are the people of Burke; we are the people of Swift, the people of Emmet, the people of Parnell. We have created most of the modern literature of this country. We have created the best of its political intelligence.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

William Butler Yeats

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. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. 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.

Literature bores me, especially great literature

John Berryman (1914-1972)

John Berryman

A people's literature is the great textbook for real knowledge of them. The writings of the day show the quality of the people as no historical reconstruction can.

Edith Hamilton (1867-1963)

Edith Hamilton

Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world.

John Cheever (1912-1982)

John Cheever

National literature no longer means very much, the age of world literature is due.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This is a standard tactic of alarmists -- to search a huge literature to find a small number of studies that, due to small sample sizes, poor methodology or just random chance, arrive at findings contradicting the rest of the literature.

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.

Sandra Cisneros

Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life -- not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving -- not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness -- not by our seeming greatness.

William Arthur Ward

When politicians and politically minded people pay too much attention to literature, it is a bad sign - a bad sign mostly for literature. But it is also a bad sign when they don't want to hear the word mentioned.

Italo Calvino (1923-1985)
