I Can Read Quotes (page 3)

We know that a man can read Goethe or Rilke in the evening, that he can play Bach and Schubert, and go to his day's work at Auschwitz in the morning. George Steiner
I've got lots of good friends. I could have affairs. I can read a book all night, put the cat on the end of the bed. I can pick up my passport and go to France. I don't have to ask anybody. Joanna Lumley
Thomas Beecham quote: "A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it."
A musicologist is a man who can read music but can't hear it. Thomas Beecham
I got into trouble a while ago for saying that I thought the internet led to increased literacy - people scolded me about the shocking grammar to be found online - but I was talking about fundamentals: quite simply, you can't use the net unless you can read. Margaret Atwood
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Just because some of us can read and write and do a little..."
Just because some of us can read and write and do a little math, that doesn't mean we deserve to conquer the Universe. Kurt Vonnegut
When we black people commit ourselves to living simply as a political action, as a way of breaking the stress caused by unrelenting hedonistic desire for material objects that are not needed for survival, or essential to well-being, we will not be talking about ebonics. We will be out in the streets demanding that the public schools have enough teachers so that all kids, cross color, can read and write in standard English and in Spanish too. Bell Hooks
Harper Lee quote: "I'm Charles Baker Harris...I can read"
I'm Charles Baker Harris...I can read Harper Lee
Do you really think you can read out my mind?" she asks me, face to face."I think so," I say, wishing to convince myself. "There has to be a way."It is like looking for lost drops of rain in a river."You're wrong. The mind is not like raindrops. It does not lose itself among other things. If you believe in me at all, than believe this: I promise you I will find it. Everything depends on this."I believe you," she whispers after a moment. "Please find my mind. Haruki Murakami
Wendell Berry quote: "If you can read and have more imagination than a doorknob,..."
If you can read and have more imagination than a doorknob, what need do you have for a 'movie version' of a novel? Wendell Berry
Bram Stoker quote: "Good women tell all their lives, and by day and by hour and by..."
Good women tell all their lives, and by day and by hour and by minute, such things that angels can read. Bram Stoker
Ovid quote: "or that writing a poem you can read to no oneis like dancing..."
or that writing a poem you can read to no oneis like dancing in the dark. Ovid
I keep such music in my brain. No din this side of death could quell; Glory exhulting over pain, And Beauty, garlanded in hell. My dreaming spirit will not heed. The roar of guns that would destroy. My life that on the gloom can read. Proud-surging melodies of joy. To the world's end I went, and found. Death in his carnival of glare; But in my torment I was crowned, And music dawned above despair Siegfried Sassoon
All you have to do is to pay attention; lessons always arrive when you are ready, and if you can read the signs, you will learn everything you need to know in order to take the next step Paulo Coelho
Why?" she screamed. "Are you crazy? You know the English subjunctive, you understand trigonometry, you can read Marx, and you don't know the answer to something as simple as that? Why do you even have to ask? Why do you have to make a girl SAY something like this? I like you more than I like him, that's all. I wish I had fallen in love with somebody a little more handsome, of course. But I didn't. I fell in love with you! Haruki Murakami
And how about the "Daily Odes to the Benefactor"? Who can read them without bowing his head reverently before the selfless labor of this Number of Numbers? Or the terrible blood-red beauty of the "Flowers of Judicial Verdicts"? Or the immortal tragedy, "Lat for Work"? Or the bedside book of "Stanzas on Sexual Hygiene"? Yevgeny Zamyatin
