Common Reading Experience

Famous quotes containing the words common, reading and/or experience:

    Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.”
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when you’re pregnant, or you’d probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a mother—how reading goes out the window and thinking too.
    Erica Jong (20th century)

    Awareness requires a rupture with the world we take for granted; then old categories of experience are called into question and revised.
    Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
