Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another’s experience so startling and informing as this would be.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
