Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“Promiscuity is like never reading past the first page. Monogamy is like reading the same book over and over.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“‘Tis to rebuke a vicious taste which has crept into thousands besides herself,—of reading straight forwards, more in quest of the adventures, than of the deep erudition and knowledge which a book of this cast, if read over as it should be, would infallibly impart.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
