Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or instruction:

“One year, I’d completely lost my bearings trying to follow potty training instruction from a psychiatric expert. I was stuck on step on, which stated without an atom of irony: “Before you begin, remove all stubbornness from the child.” . . .

—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
