Stumbled…

[...]I was stumbling around on Stumble Upon and found that several people were talking about this[...]…

First of all, let me just say how amazing this site and shirts are! There is truly nothing else like it on the web. That said I would very much love a Cormac McCarthy shirt, and agree with the poster below who offered up this quote from The Road: “All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one’s heart have a common provenance in pain.” A couple of other suggestions:

Carson McCullers would be nice, there should be a few more female writers [And I support the notion too of eventually having women's tees]. Perhaps this quote from McCullers: “We are homesick most for the places we have never known.”

And though he is a bit obscure compared to others, the French poet Paul Valery is one very close to my heart: “That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false.”

Just wondering if you could include a shirt for Ludwig Feuerbach?

Possible quote:
-”What is finite to the understanding is nothing to the heart.” (”The Essence of Christianity” Ch. 1)

Novelists- Joyce Carol Oates?

Think about it- thanks !

Can we buy with a personal check or a money order?

I was hoping to find a shirt depicting ‘Leonard Cohen’. As both a novelist and poet, I believe he would prove a very popular addition to your sales revenues.

I would love to have a William Somerset Maugham shirt. I’d definitely purchase one should you produce any.

Hi! Please inform me when you have t-shirts with Graham Greene or Fernando Pessoa. Best Regards, Denis.

Oh yes…how about a Louis Ferdinand Celine T-shirt? Plenty of great quotes from his first two books.

Hello,

What kind of t-shirts do you use to print on? Is it the lighter, softer cotton with the narrower collars or the heavier cotton with the wider collars like Beefy T’s?

I’m more partial to the latter and just wanted to know before ordering.

Thanks,

Rupert

I’d love to carry your shirts in my store in British Columbia, Canada - can you get in touch with me?

I wear my shirts from your site (Capote and Saint-Exupery) so often that my friends asked if they’re all I own! I look forward to getting more. Next on my shortlist are C.S. Lewis and Albert Camus.

I saw the “Moby Dick” tee in people I would really like to get that one are you just out?????

I would like it if the Sylvia Plath t-shirt listed under “Poets” would include a line from one of her poems rather than a line from her novel, The Bell Jar.

Also, something by Oscar Wilde would be great.

I love your site and proudly wear the Truman Capote shirt often.

Please, please consider adding ladies’ sizes to your shirts. Men’s t-shirts are not very flattering on most women. I bet you’d sell a lot more shirts if you offered them in a ladies’ style.
Thanks,
Eddie (a girl, despite the name)

I’m so happy that I could find a Federico Garcia Lorca shirt! We are doing a play based off of Lorca’s life by Nilo Cruz and I bought it for my director!

Dudes, you seriously need to look into lots more WOMEN writers to put on these shirts!! Yes, you’ve got a special on Sartre, but where’s de Beauvoir?

Mina Loy? Flannery O’Connor? Martha Gellhorn? Vita Sackville-West? George Sand? Keep on going….

I second the motion for a Walker Percy shirt, and I offer an alternative quote from _The Moviegoer_ for consideration: “The fact is I am quite happy in a movie, even a bad movie. Other people, so I have read, treasure memorable moments in their lives…”

Really kool. But do they all have to be Dead Poets??
Gary Says:

I just remembered a couple other good quotes from Flannery O’Connor for your consideration:

“Only if we are secure in our beliefs can we see the comical side of the universe.”

“All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful.”
Gary Says:

My I suggest the following quotes:

From The Road, by Cormac McCarthy: “All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one’s heart have a common provenance in pain.”

From The Moviegoer, by Walker Percy: “Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive.”

A personal quote from Flannery O’Connor: “The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”

Thanks for listening. I need t-shirts of my favorite Southern gothic writers!

Great site; I would love to see a Sigmund Freud T-shirt. I think he’d “fit in” quite nicely!

What a great selection! How about Longfellow for a future shirt? “A Psalm of Life,” “The Rainy Day,” or “The Arrow and the Song” are very quotable.

This is an outstanding idea, the entire concept is original and very interesting.
Daniel Scalph Says:

So, for years I’ve had this idea about a website which features regular everyday t-shirts with an iconic image of a classic writer: highbrow but not presumptuous. I figured I couldn’t be the only person with the idea, but still couldn’t find anything like it. But one day (today) everything changed when I searched “Tolkien not all who wander are lost” on Google just for kicks. I was eventually led here, and couldn’t be happier. I just ordered my first shirt–the Truman Capote–and can’t wait until it gets here! In the meantime, I plan on saving money to get more as well as spread the word about this site. Thanks and good luck!

Amazing! Do you send shirts to Brazil? Congratulations, your web site is very very good! the shirts are perfects, the most beatiful T-shirts! But, and brazilian writers? Machado de assis, Jorge Amado, Paulo Coelho and others… Think about it.

Great!

I am very very happy to have found this site… I love your selection. Though I think you’ve overlooked a wonderful opportunity for quoting Oscar Wilde, who was not only a dramatist, but a wannabe poet, a lightning-lucky novelist and longtime dabbler into critique and philosophical exchange a la Plato.
I do wish you’d change the quote on the Allen Ginsberg shirt to something more passionate, though… something not on a theory of poetry itself. Then I would buy it, immediately. I probablty will anyway, but we’ll see…
This is a priceless concept. Congrats.

I love this site! Just discovered it and as an English major who wears screened t’s everyday and has an internet shopping addiction, this has become my new favorite site within the past 5 minutes. I do have one question/request…I love the site’s logo and was wondering if it was available in a t-shirt? and if so where is the link?

Hello Literary Rags:

Just to give you a little insight; I perused the highly visible “Cafe Press” web site(s) and came to find out that they sell just about everything that can be put on a T-shirt, but care about NOTHING. Their whole game is: throw it against the wall and see what sticks — so when it come to literature YOU ARE IT! You actually care. I commend you. Keep up the good work, and let’s let the Cafe Presses of the world choke on their gluttony!!!

A fan forever.

I love these shirts. I would really love to see a quote about ethics for Aristotle. Do you take custom orders if there is a certain quote wanted?

I really like your t-shirts, they’re very original and different,there’s
new t-shirts for different authors every time I come to this website.
Do you have an actual store in the U.S.?

Presently I own Tolkien and Tolstoy T-shirts.
I sometimes wear them when I teach my English
classes–it’s nice to instigate discussions of
literature in the most ordinary places, too.
Is there any possibility of doing an A.R. Ammons
t-shirt? Thanks!

What happened to all of your old posts?

Great shirts! I am the proud owner of three, which I wear frequently! People are always asking me to stop so they can read the backs, and I tell them were to get their own!

You guys still have not been to Millville for our 3rd Friday Art walk. You need to meet Amy from Bogarts Books - a great little book store.

Absolutely fantastic shirts! I have several, and never tire of people asking me to stop so they can read them more closely. Thought provoking, they all make important points that have been made before … and forgotten.

Seriously cool shirts… but you’re missing one necessary fellow. Poe. Just in case his importance has escaped you, here are a few little known facts: He was the first American to make a living solely from his writing. Granted he went hungry many nights, but he proved it could be done. Poe also fought for the new concept of “copyrights” for American writers and was the father of the whodunit genre. Please consider this quote for a Poe shirt “Truth is not always in a well. In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial.” (from “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”) Thanks for giving Edgar a second thought. Sincerely, Holly
