“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.”
-- C.S. Lewis
“The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose.”
-- Margaret Atwood
“The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.”
“Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.”
-- Francoise Sagan
“Literature is the orchestration of platitudes.”
-- Thornton Wilder

Do you mean separately? Or all together?
If you mean all these together...the answer is simply that literature is necessary and important to living a full life. It improves the quality of the life we lead.
