Read

Famous quotes containing the word read:

    We have been able to have fine poetry in England because the public do not read it, and consequently do not influence it. The public like to insult poets because they are individual, but once they have insulted them, they leave them alone.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    I never read a novel, they have so little real life and thought in them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Anyone who has invented a better mousetrap, or the contemporary equivalent, can expect to be harassed by strangers demanding that you read their unpublished manuscripts or undergo the humiliation of public speaking, usually on remote Midwestern campuses.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
