Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, that will explain our miracles and reveal new ones. The at present unutterable things we may find somewhere uttered.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
