Literary Thoughts Quotes

“Criticism that thrives on exaggeration or selective reading ultimately undermines its own credibility.”
― Alok Mishra

― Alok Mishra

“It is not enough to present literature as an object of study; it must be introduced as an experience.”
― Alok Mishra

“Any great work of literature becomes successful because it can create intertwined layers of disturbance – inside the characters and outside in the atmosphere. Consequently, we don’t only enjoy the visual spectacle, but also the internal chaos that shapes itself in the form of pity, fear, hatred, affection and more.”
― Alok Mishra
