Reader Ready

Famous quotes containing the words reader and/or ready:

    If the pages of this book contain some successful verse, the reader must excuse me the discourtesy of having usurped it first. Our nothingness differs little; it is a trivial and chance circumstance that you should be the reader of these exercises and I their author.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    Meanwhile telephones crouch, getting ready to ring
    In locked-up offices, and all the uncaring
    Intricate rented world begins to rouse.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
