Famous quotes containing the word read:

    The degree to which the child-rearing professionals continue to be out of touch with reality is astounding. For example, a widely read manual on breast-feeding, devotes fewer than two pages to the working mother.
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    Criticism is a misconception: we must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
