As Patrick Rothfuss, in The Name of the

Wind wrote: “Words are pale shadows of
forgotten names. As names have power, words
have power. Words can light fires in the minds of
men. Words can wring tears from the hardest
hearts”.
A people without literature is a
mute people
Salman Rushdie said “Literature is where I go
to explore the highest and lowest places in
human society and in the human spirit, where I
hope to find not absolute truth but the truth
of the tale, of the imagination and of the
heart”
