Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    The truth in a calm world,
    In which there is no other meaning, itself

    Is calm, itself is summer and night, itself
    Is the reader leaning late and reading there.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
