Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“Promiscuity is like never reading past the first page. Monogamy is like reading the same book over and over.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“For aesthetics is the mother of ethics.... Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth. I believe—not empirically, alas, but only theoretically—that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has read no Dickens.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
