Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
