I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning like the pure air of the mountains - so simple so true if once understood.

At first I could not believe what I was reading. I got up from my seat and walked away talking to myself that I may have found my mom.

I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

My mom used to tell me stories at night read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.

Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me read with me read with me. It was wonderful.

He had read much if one considers his long life but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.

No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages personal relations and multi-tasking but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

I know one husband and wife who whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.

It wasn't a good idea to work on 'Naked' in the first months of a marriage. I was living apart from my wife in a flat overflowing with books I was reading for the part.

It was the courts of course that took away prayer from our schools that took away Bible reading from our schools. It's the courts that gave us same-sex marriage. So it is quite a battlefield and the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land.

The Southern slave would obey God in respect to marriage and also to the reading and studying of His word. But this as we have seen is forbidden him.

The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality birth within marriage parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?

Reading a script is usually as exciting as reading a boilerplate legal document so when you read one that makes you feel as if you're seeing the movie you know it's something different.

It's tempting to say the Ph.D. didn't have an effect but it's not so. I think whatever resonance I may be able to achieve is in part simply from the amount of reading and learning that I acquired along the way.

I can't talk about foreign policy like anyone who's spent their life reading and learning foreign policy. But as a citizen in a democracy it's very important that I participate in that.

You can learn as much about the history from reading about the present as you can vice versa that is learning about the present through history which is what I do for a living.

Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.

No I got a GED in my 30s. My kids know that I never stop learning and they know I love reading. I have books overflowing everywhere. I am current on today's events and I read the paper every day and we talk about it so they see that appetite.

A man only learns in two ways one by reading and the other by association with smarter people.

I would like to have the superpower of being able to touch a book and then gain all the knowledge out of that book without spending hours and days reading it.

Learning is acquired by reading books but the much more necessary learning the knowledge of the world is only to be acquired by reading men and studying all the various facets of them.

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
