Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
    —Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)

    “How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
