Famous quotes containing the word read:
“We rarely meet a man who can tell us any news which he has not read in a newspaper, or been told by his neighbor; and, for the most part, the only difference between us and our fellow is that he has seen the newspaper, or been out to tea, and we have not.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
