Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various editions of them.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
