Definitions and quotes

Literature
Literature, most generically, is any body of written works. More restrictively, literature writing is considered to be an art form, or any single writing deemed to have artistic or intellectual value, often due to deploying language in ways that differ from ordinary usage.
Literature
Be less concerned about the number of books you read, and more about the good use you make of them. The best of books is the Bible.
Christian Scriver, p. 386.
Children
As I traveled, talking about these issues, I met so many young people who had lost hope. Some were depressed; some were apathetic; some were angry and violent. And when I talked to them, they all more or less felt this way because we had compromised their future and the world of tomorrow was not going to sustain their great-grandchildren.
Jane Goodall "Then & Now: Jane Goodall", CNN (June 19, 2005)
Children
Jesus was the first great teacher of men who showed a genuine sympathy for childhood. When He said "Of such is the kingdom of heaven," it was a revelation.
Edward Eggleston, p. 49.
