Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“I loved reading, and had a great desire of attaining knowledge; but whenever I asked questions of any kind whatsoever, I was always told, such things were not proper for girls of my age to know.... For Miss must not enquire too far into things, it would turn her brain; she had better mind her needlework, and such things as were useful for women; reading and poring on books would never get me a husband.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
