“Literature is a living thing, something that moves the soul, makes it sing in wonder
and awe. The Text walks you through all the passion, despair, feelings, anger, love,
hatred, and joy a human can experience. It’s almost like being in the right committed
relationship; you’re caught up in it, and it feels like … magic.”
Virginia Woolf
“ Literature is strewn with the wreckage of those who have minded beyond reasons the
opinion of others. “
Oscar Wilde
“Literature always anticipates life. It does not copy but it molds it to its purpose.”

Aristotle
“ Literature is an imitation of a sequence of events. It can be categorized and thereby,
understood according to the method of operation and execution of each category.”
Laure Anderson
“Literature is the safe and traditional vehicle through which we learn about the world
and pass on values from one generation to the next. Books save lives.”
“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.”
Purposed and Values and Benefits of Teaching Literature (Del Castillo and Medina,
1964)
“ Literature is a faithful reproduction of life, executed in an artistic pattern. It is the
orchestration of the manifold but element experiences of man blended into
harmonious and desired patter of expression“ (Del Castillo and Medina, 1964).
