Reading boring?



There is something about the written word on a page. They sing to me. I love to read about writing. And reading.

“No iron can stab the heart with such force as a period put just at the right place.”
Isaac Babel

“A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.”
Mark Twain

“I never read a book before reviewing it; it prejudices a man so.”
Sydney Smith

“People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”
Logan Pearsall Smith

“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
Groucho Marx

“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.”
Emily Dickinson

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
Oscar Wilde

“Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.”
Henry David Thoreau

I shall stop now. There is a danger in saying more:

“This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.
Winston Churchill   

Happy reading.

George

  'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering  Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
