Reads

Famous quotes containing the word reads:

“A sleeping man holds in a circle around him the thread of the hours, the order of years and of worlds. He consults them instinctively upon awaking and in one second reads in them the point of the earth that he occupies, the time past until his arousal; but their ranks can be mingled or broken.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“A man ought to read just as his inclination leads him; for what he reads as a task will do him little good.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“The thinker as reader reads what has been written.
He wears the words he reads to look upon
Within his being....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
