Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “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)
