Quotations regarding 'Reading'
When I'm not writing or tweaking my computer, I do embroidery. When I'm not plunging into the past, tweaking, or embroidering, I'm reading books about history, computers, or embroidery.
Lynn Abbey, American Author (1948- )
Hard work makes easy reading or, at least, easier reading.
M. H. Abrams, Critic (1912- )
I keep reading between the lies.
Goodman Ace, American Writer (1899-1982)
Learn as much by writing as by reading.
Lord Acton, British Historian (1834-1902)
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Joseph Addison, English Writer (1672-1719)
Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life.
Joseph Addison, English Writer (1672-1719)
There is only one situation I can think of in which men and women make an effort to read better than they usually do. It is when they are in love and reading a love letter.
Mortimer Adler, American Philosopher (1902-2001)
I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.
Christina Aguilera, American Musician (1980- )
I've done both theatre and film and the fact is if you start believing, if you start reading things and they're good reviews - you believe that and you're lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that's true and you read that and you're lost.
Jenny Agutter, English Actress (1952- )
I'm good at reading people.
Al Alvarez, English Poet (1929- )
Reading your own material aloud forces you to listen.
Stephen Ambrose, American Historian (1936-2002)
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition.
A. R. Ammons, American Poet
In some areas I am more noted for reading then I am for cookies!
Wally Amos, American Businessman (1936- )
That by listening to some music, by reading some books, by looking at paintings, and most important by hanging out with one another - by collaborating with one another and creating your own network - you can achieve something that is much better than what is out there.
David Amram, American Composer (1930- )
Dr. Phil was very helpful and caring. I believe he helped all of us there and watching how to better relate, understand, and communicate with our families and loved ones. Dr. Phil recommended reading my new book.
Louie Anderson, American Comedian (1953- )
I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.
Gillian Anderson, Actress (1968- )
I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I'd go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories.
Kevin J. Anderson, American Writer (1962- )
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Maya Angelou, American Poet (1928- )
When I got to the reading all the work, I was reduced to being an actor in an experimental play that I'd already written. And I didn't want to be an actor.
David Antin, American Poet (1932- )
No one bothered reading the books and understanding - and again, I'm not being high-falutin' about it - but I think our books are great literature with great metaphors of real life dealing with fears and hopes.
Avi Arad, Israeli Businessman
