Reading Passages

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or passages:

“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another’s experience so startling and informing as this would be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“You ever
Have wished the sleeping of this business, never desired
It to be stirred, but oft have hindered, oft
The passages made toward it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
