Read

Famous quotes containing the word read:

    Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.
    Alan Bennett (b. 1934)

    The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
    The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
    The books that people talk about we never can recall;
    And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.
    Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)

    Buy good books, and read them; the best books are the commonest, and the last editions are always the best, if the editors are not blockheads.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
