Reading

Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.

    After which you led me to water
    And bade me drink, which I did, owing to your kindness.
    You would not let me out for two days and three nights,
    Bringing me books bound in wild thyme and scented wild grasses
    As if reading had any interest for me ...
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Nothing is so engaging as the little domestic cares into which you appear to be entering, and as to reading it is useful for only filling up the chinks of more useful and healthy occupations.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
