Notable quotes

It is with love & smiles that I think back on my high school Enlgish/Journalism teacher. Thanks to her, small grammar quirks still drive me nuts (there is no such thing as a 'first annual'!)...

One of her teaching methods was to begin class with an interesting quote to engage her students. I've collected a few of my own through the years, so I'll begin with one about reading (of course):

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." -Mark Twain, American author and humorist


In this class, you will be asked to re-shape your habits in, and attitude toward, reading. How do you feel about reading? Compare the advantages and disadvantages of not reading with those of not being able to read. How might these comparisons affect your views about your own reading?
