Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.”
    —Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    “The truth in a calm world,
    In which there is no other meaning, itself

    Is calm, itself is summer and night, itself
    Is the reader leaning late and reading there.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
