Famous quotes containing the word reade:
“We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
“How so ere, my man
Shall reade a piece of virgil, tacitus,
livie, or some better booke to us,
Of which wee’ll speake our minds, amidst our meate;
And Ile professe no verses to repeate:”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
