Long Readings

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or readings:

    I had gone so long without loving
    I hardly knew what I was thinking.

    Where I hid my face, your touch, quick, merciful
    Blindfolded me. A god breathed from my lips.
    If that was illusion, I wanted it to last long;
    James Merrill (b. 1926)

    The eating of a MacDonald’s meal is like the reading of Reader’s Digest—small, easily digested, carefully processed, carefully cut down, abridged. Reader’s Digest gives us knowledge that is easily compartmentalized, simplified, ideologically sound.
