Reading Rage

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or rage:

    Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
    And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
    The city to the soldier’s rage resigned;
    Successless wars, and poverty behind;
    Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
    And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
    The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
    And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
