Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “It is one of the signs of the times. We confess that we have risen from reading this book with enlarged ideas, and grander conceptions of our duties in this world. It did expand us a little.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Nothing is so engaging as the little domestic cares into which you appear to be entering, and as to reading it is useful for only filling up the chinks of more useful and healthy occupations.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
