Literature Quotations
Literature is what many of us live for. It helps entertain us, convince us, helps us learn, and tells us what we should do to better ourselves. It is what helped educate the world and what helps our language change. It gives us hope, it gives us strength, and it gives us something to do. It is frankly one of the wonders of the world.
