Reading Rage

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or rage:

    “I loved reading, and had a great desire of attaining knowledge; but whenever I asked questions of any kind whatsoever, I was always told, “such things were not proper for girls of my age to know.”...

    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
    Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
