Reads

Famous quotes containing the word reads:

“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)

“He reads much,
He is a great observer, and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
