Lay Readers

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or readers:

“An old man, broken with the storms of state,
Is come to lay his weary bones among ye:
Give him a little earth for charity.”

“Theoretically, we know that the world turns, but in fact we do not notice it, the earth on which we walk does not seem to move and we live on in peace. This is how it is concerning Time in our lives. And to render its passing perceptible, novelists must... have their readers cross ten, twenty, thirty years in two minutes.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
