Mario Vargas Llosa Ideas Quotations

Journalism has been very important for me - for a long time I made my living as a journalist, and it also serves as a source of ideas. Many of the things I have written I would not have written without the experience of being a journalist.

I don't accept the idea that literature can be just entertainment and that there is no consequences of literature in the real world.

We were trained as writers with the idea that literature is something that can change reality, that it's not just a very sophisticated entertainment, but a way to act.
