Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (18761947)
“A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when youre pregnant, or youd probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a motherhow reading goes out the window and thinking too.”
—Erica Jong (20th century)
