Struggling Readers

Famous quotes containing the words struggling and/or readers:

“Oh! what a poor thing is human life in its best enjoyments!—subjected to imaginary evils when it has no real ones to disturb it! and that can be made as effectually unhappy by its apprehensions of remote contingencies as if it was struggling with the pains of a present distress!”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“Our poems will have failed if our readers are not brought by them beyond the poems.”
