Ponder-prompting quotation posters

Writers on writing, on your classroom walls

Who better to encapsulate the art and the graft of reading and writing than writers themselves? Here are ten wise and witty quotations about literature, chosen for their strength, simplicity and relevance. We’re hopeful that our quotation posters will jazz up your walls and encourage an insight or two!

A choice of quotations …

The quotations we’ve picked are by a wide range of writers – from Samuel Johnson to Jackie Kay – and they take many different stances. Whether you choose to share the ten posters around your department, put them up one at a time or splurge them all in one big room, they’ll have a powerful accumulative effect.

…packing their punch

The quotations are inscribed very simply across the page, with font and design reinforcing the various themes and messages. We’ve given them lovely, strong, jewel-coloured backgrounds and they look (we think!) spectacular. It’s not often that words get this much space on a classroom wall.
