Read

Famous quotes containing the word read:

    News is what a chap who doesn’t care much about anything wants to read. And it’s only news until he’s read it. After that it’s dead.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B’s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    To fight without hope is to fight with grace,
    The self reconstructed, the false heart repaired.’
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
