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)

“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
