Reading Passages

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or passages:

“Human contacts have been so highly valued in the past only because reading was not a common accomplishment.... The world, you must remember, is only just becoming literate. As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“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)
