Erinnerung / Memory Leben / Living Literatur / Literature Nation Wird / Becomes
A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory.
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
Every man's memory is his private literature.
The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation.
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
If a nation's literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.
I was trying to figure out what a memory feels like.
Literature has become too psychological.
Literature is the question minus the answer.
