Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“He is to the great poet, what an excellent mimic is to a great actor. There is no determinate impression left on the mind by reading his poetry.... A great mind is one that moulds the minds of others.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“I loved reading, and had a great desire of attaining knowledge; but whenever I asked questions of any kind whatsoever, I was always told, “such things were not proper for girls of my age to know.”... For “Miss must not enquire too far into things, it would turn her brain; she had better mind her needlework, and such things as were useful for women; reading and poring on books would never get me a husband.””
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
