Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or rage:
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“The foolish race of mankind
Are swarming below in the night;
They shriek and rage and quarrel—
And all of them are right.”
—Heinrich Heine (1797–1856)
