Read Word

Famous quotes containing the words read and/or word:

“Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

“Who rise from flesh to spirit know the fall:
The word outleaps the world, and light is all.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
