Famous quotes containing the word read:
“I dont read such small stuff as letters, I read men and nations. I can see through a millstone, though I cant see through a spelling-book. What a narrow idea a reading qualification is for a voter!”
—Sojourner Truth (c. 17971883)
“Auden, MacNeice, Day Lewis, I have read them all,
Hoping against hope to hear the authentic call . . .
And know the explanation I must pass is this
MYou cannot light a match on a crumbling wall.”
—Hugh MacDiarmid (18921978)
“I havent read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
