Read Word

Famous quotes containing the words read and/or word:

“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)

“Don’t use that foreign word “ideals.” We have that excellent native word “lies.””
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
