Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    “The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values—whether presented on television or in “real life.” The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some “high” to feel worthwhile.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
