Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “After all, what is reading but a vice, like drink or venery or any other form of excessive self-indulgence? One reads to tickle and amuse one’s mind; one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various editions of them.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
