“Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy it but molds it to its purpose.”

“Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart.”

Salman Rushdie

“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean.”

“Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.”
