Verus Propheta - Further Reading

Famous quotes containing the word reading:

“Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

“I have this very moment finished reading a novel called The Vicar of Wakefield [by Oliver Goldsmith].... It appears to me, to be impossible any person could read this book through with a dry eye and yet, I don’t much like it.... There is but very little story, the plot is thin, the incidents very rare, the sentiments uncommon, the vicar is contented, humble, pious, virtuous—but upon the whole the book has not at all satisfied my expectations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
