Common Reading Experience

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

    If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    With one day’s reading a man may have the key in his hands.

    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
