Famous quotes containing the words ill and/or read:
“It is an ill thing to be the first to bring news of ill.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
