Go ahead, and fear not. You will have a full library at your service.
I started reading and learned that we don’t need any of it – meat, dairy products. We get everything we need without those things – except maybe B12, but there’s this whole controversy that maybe we’re only getting B12 because the animals are being fed B12 supplements.
I started reading all these men’s magazines, trying to follow all the tips: what you’re supposed to wear, what you’re supposed to have, things you’re supposed to say, and all the exercises you’re supposed to do.
I don’t read anything anymore. I don’t have the eyesight. I read my own copy, that’s all. I think I’ve read everything that’s worth reading.
What’s important is that all human knowledge be made available to all intelligent people who want to learn it.
I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.
I don’t believe in writing at night because it comes too easily. When I read it in the morning it’s not good. I need daylight to begin. Between nine and ten o’clock I have a long breakfast with reading and music.
There should be two main objectives in ordinary prose writing: to convey a message and to include in it nothing that will distract the reader’s attention or check his habitual pace of reading – he should feel that he is seated at ease in a taxi, not riding a temperamental horse through traffic.
It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, a bible-reading people. The principles of the bible are the groundwork of human freedom.
Through reading literature we can make ghosts speak to us, and we can speak back to them.
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
It’s what the Pixies always said about music – they were writing songs and just trying not to be boring. That was their main motivation and it worked for them. I remember reading that and thinking that was the way to do it.
I remember when I was in my late teens just getting rid of lots of records, realizing I only ever listened to them when I was reading, or watching TV, or doing something else.
I love reading and I love thinking – the reason that I love my books so much is that in order to write them I have to read and to think for years at a time about the same period of time.
When I’m going to see a comedian, I don’t want to see them hold back, and when I’m reading a book, I don’t want to hear an abridged version.
Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at thesame time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch’s biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!
I really can’t help what someone thinks of me because they are reading a paper and choosing to believe it.
Today’s sensitive male has learned to share in open frank discussions about relationships like, “Where the hell did you get a crazy idea like that? You been reading Redbook again?”
I can’t believe it! Reading and writing actually paid off!
I see ghosts everywhere, and that is partially a function of my being incredibly near-sighted and reading way too late into the night.
