What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A great literary work can be completely, completely unpredictable. Which can sometimes make them very hard to read, but it gives them a great originality.
Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.
Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book.
As I have encountered difficult moments in my own life, I have been privileged to learn from the great men I have come to know as a writer.
Our literature is in great shape.
A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out.
A great speech is literature.
Literature at its fullest takes human nature as its theme. That's the kind of writing that interests me.
Time the great destroyer of other men's happiness, only enlarges the patrimony of literature to its possessor.
The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.
