Literature

Literature, most generically, is any body of written works. More restrictively, literature writing is considered to be an art form, or any single writing deemed to have artistic or intellectual value, often due to deploying language in ways that differ from ordinary usage.

Literature is news that stays news.

Literature

Be less concerned about the number of books you read, and more about the good use you make of them. The best of books is the Bible.

Christian Scriver, p. 386.

Wikiquote

Literature

There is first the literature of knowledge, and secondly, the literature of power. The function of the first is—to teach; the function of the second is—to move, the first is a rudder, the second an oar or a sail. The first speaks to the mere discursive understanding; the second speaks ultimately, it may happen, to the higher understanding or reason, but always through affections of pleasure and sympathy.

Thomas De Quincey, Essays on the Poets, Alexander Pope.
