Quotation of the Day for February 27, 2016



"And we can't really ask literature or the representatives of a literary culture, in or out of the university, to save society. Literature is not an instrument of social change or an instrument of social reform. It is more a mode of human sensations and impressions, which do not reduce very well to societal rules or forms."

- Harold Bloom, literary critic.
