Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
    —Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)

    “Promiscuity is like never reading past the first page. Monogamy is like reading the same book over and over.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
