Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “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)

    “A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when you’re pregnant, or you’d probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a mother—how reading goes out the window and thinking too.”
    —Erica Jong (20th century)
