What we find in books is like the fire in our hearths. We fetch it from our neighbors, we kindle it at home, we communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.

-Voltaire

Many TV tropes originated in literary works. Literature being as old as writing itself, most of The Oldest Ones In The Book date to the classics, most Public Domain Characters appeared in print well before the first TV broadcasts, and even today there are books with enough cultural impact to spawn TV Tropes.
