How has the human spirit ever survived the terrific literature with which it has had to contend?

» W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) British novelist and playwright

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.

» Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) American Modernist poet

Camerado! This is no book; who touches this touches a man.

» Walt Disney (1901-1966) American Cartoonist

» William Cowper (1731-1800) British poet

The artist is of no importance. Only what he creates is important, since there is nothing new to be said. Shakespeare, Balzac, Homer have all written about the same things, and if they had lived one thousand or two thousand years longer, the publishers wo

As life grows more terrible, its literature grows more terrible.

» W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) British novelist and playwright

The words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything.

» Walt Disney (1901-1966) American Cartoonist

» Walter Bagehot (1826-1877) British economist

If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago.

» William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist and short-story Writer['As I Lay Dying', 'Absalom, Absalom!' Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949]
