You can't live for literature. You can't live for the job.
Literature is the question minus the answer.
I am more and more convinced that literature is made up of works, genres, schools, discussions, problems, collective work in order to solve certain problems.
Literature is capable of being a subject that people want to catch up on or discuss, whether at a coffee shop or a watercooler. It can become an intrinsic part of their dialogue.

Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.
Literature has as one of its principal allures that it tells you something about life that life itself can't tell you. I just thought literature is a thing that human beings do.
I strongly believe that literature can do something that nothing else can do, and that is embody the human spirit.
For me, literature is a complex game, both mental and concrete, which is acted out in a physical manner on the page.
Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once.
