Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or reads:
“Where I would like to discover facts, I find fancy. Where I would like to learn what I did, I learn only what I was thinking. They are loaded with opinion, moral thoughts, quick evaluations, youthful hopes and cares and sorrows. Occasionally, they manage to report something in exquisite honesty and accuracy. That is why I have refrained from burning them.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Life is beautiful. He who reads that
As in the window of some distant, speeding train
Knows what he wants, and what will befall.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
