Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    A reading machine, always wound up and going,
    He mastered whatever was not worth the knowing.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    After all, what is reading but a vice, like drink or venery or any other form of excessive self-indulgence? One reads to tickle and amuse one’s mind; one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
