Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“My mother ... believed fiction gave one an unrealistic view of the world. Once she caught me reading a novel and chastised me: Never let me catch you doing that again, remember what happened to Emma Bovary.”
—Angela Carter (19401992)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapondestroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesnt read much doesnt know much. And a nation that doesnt know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
