I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known something of what has been passing in their times. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Reading Newspapers quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Two hours on television just doesn't automatically happen. I'm up early, I'm reading newspapers online, talking to my staff, coming up with ideas. ~ Wolf Blitzer
Reading Newspapers quotes by Wolf Blitzer
Newspaper publishers profit greatly from the widespread belief that reading newspapers gives others the impression that one is smart or at least mature. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Reading Newspapers quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Mom stopped reading, closed the book, and started laughing her ass off. Behind her a bunch of old dudes reading newspapers looked up at her, all disapproving, like she'd just farted or something. ~ Walter Sorrells
Reading Newspapers quotes by Walter Sorrells
Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock. ~ Ben Hecht
Reading Newspapers quotes by Ben Hecht
I propose that if you want a simple step to a higher form of life, as distant from the animal as you can get, then you may have to denarrate, that is, shut down the television set, minimize time spent reading newspapers, ignore the blogs. Train your reasoning abilities to control your decisions; nudge System 1 (the heuristic or experiential system) out of the important ones. Train yourself to spot the difference between the sensational and the empirical. This insulation from the toxicity of the world will have an additional benefit: it will improve your well-being. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Reading Newspapers quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Whoever acquired any real or substantive intelligence from reading newspapers? I'm sure I have no in-depth comprehension of American villany; yet I can't leave the news alone! You'd think I might profit from my experience with ice cream. If I have ice cream in my freezer, I'll eat it--I'll eat all of it, all at once. Therefore, I've learned not to buy ice cream. Newspapers are even worse for me than ice cream; headlines, and the big issues that generate headlines, are pure fat. ~ John Irving
Reading Newspapers quotes by John Irving
Political indoctrination was geared towards producing activists. The propaganda image of the ideal child was a precocious political orator mouthing agitprop. Communism could not be taught from books, educational thinkers maintained. It had to be instilled through the whole life of the school, which was in turn to be connected to the broader world of politics through extra-curricular activities, such as celebrating Soviet holidays, joining public marches, reading newspapers and organizing school debates and trials. The idea was to initiate the children into the practices, cults and rituals of the Soviet system so that they would grow up to become loyal and active Communists. ~ Orlando Figes
Reading Newspapers quotes by Orlando Figes
I'm a news junkie who's constantly reading newspapers and magazines. I look around and see what's happening in the world. ~ Michael Franti
Reading Newspapers quotes by Michael Franti
[On not reading newspapers:] If something important happens, your mother calls you. ~ Fran Lebowitz
Reading Newspapers quotes by Fran Lebowitz
I really love eating, so I love reading about food, and I religiously read the dining section in newspapers. ~ Sarah Jessica Parker
Reading Newspapers quotes by Sarah Jessica Parker
Let the trees be consulted before you take any action
every time you breathe in thank a tree
let tree roots crack parking lots at the world bank headquarters
let loggers be druids specially trained and rewarded
to sacrifice trees at auspicious times
let carpenters be master artisans
let lumber be treasured like gold
let chain saws be played like saxophones
let soldiers on maneuvers plant trees give police and criminals a shovel
and a thousand seedlings
let businessmen carry pocketfuls of acorns
let newlyweds honeymoon in the woods
walk don't drive
stop reading newspapers
stop writing poetry
squat under a tree and tell stories. ~ John Wright
Reading Newspapers quotes by John Wright
To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, 'by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only.' Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knolege with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is n ~ Thomas Jefferson
Reading Newspapers quotes by Thomas Jefferson
I keep reading between the lies. ~ Goodman Ace
Reading Newspapers quotes by Goodman Ace
People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news.
~ A.J. Liebling
Reading Newspapers quotes by A.J. Liebling
By riding public transportation and reading newspapers, we become like the others, sinking further and further into the they ~ Heidegger, Martin
Reading Newspapers quotes by Heidegger, Martin
I spent an hour yesterday watching the ladies bathe. What a sight! What a hideous sight! The two sexes used to bathe together here. But now they are kept separate by means of signposts, preventive nets, and a uniformed inspector – nothing more depressingly grotesque can be imagined. However, yesterday, from the place where I was standing in the sun, with my spectacles on my nose, I could contemplate the bathing beauties at my leisure. The human race must indeed have become absolutely moronic to have lost its sense of elegance to this degree. Nothing is more pitiful than these bags in which women encase their bodies, and these oilcloth caps! What faces! What figures! And what feet! Red, scrawny, covered with corns and bunions, deformed by shoes, long as shuttles or wide as washerwomen's paddles. And in the midst of everything, scrofulous brats screaming and crying. Further off, grandmas knitting and respectable old gentlemen with gold-rimmed spectacles reading newspapers, looking up from time to time between lines to savor the vastness of the horizon with an air of approval. The whole thing made me long all afternoon to escape from Europe and go live in the Sandwich Islands or the forests of Brazil. There, at least, the beaches are not polluted by such ugly feet, by such foul-looking specimens of humanity. ~ Gustave Flaubert
Reading Newspapers quotes by Gustave Flaubert
I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Reading Newspapers quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Reading is a kind of magic that transforms the world around you ~ Rachel Vdolek
Reading Newspapers quotes by Rachel Vdolek
I realised that today we are very much interested in reading about subjects that would have also interested people in the 1500s: ghosts, demons and things that go bump in the night. ~ Deborah Harkness
Reading Newspapers quotes by Deborah Harkness
Nita stood still, listening to Joanne's footsteps hurrying away, a little faster every second- and slowly began to realize that she'd gotten what she asked for too- the ability to break the cycle of anger and loneliness, not necessarily for others, but at least for herself. It wouldn't even take the Speech; plain words would do it, and the magic of reaching out. It would take a long time, much longer then something simple like breaking the walls of the worlds, and it would cost more effort than even reading the Book of Night with Moon. But it would be worth it- and eventually it would work. A spell always works. Nita went home. ~ Diane Duane
Reading Newspapers quotes by Diane Duane
Today, in the newspapers and magazines, the first sentence is, my restaurant is expensive. ~ Masa Takayama
Reading Newspapers quotes by Masa Takayama
Court TV. I can't stop watching it. I am absolutely obsessed! If I'm not reading a book or spending time with my husband, my friends or my dog, I am watching Court TV. ~ Debra Messing
Reading Newspapers quotes by Debra Messing
I fully agree with all that you say on the advantages of H. Spencer's excellent expression of 'the survival of the fittest.' This, however, had not occurred to me till reading your letter. It is, however, a great objection to this term that it cannot be used as a substantive governing a verb; and that this is a real objection I infer from H. Spencer continually using the words, natural selection.
(Letter to A. R. Wallace July 1866) ~ Charles Darwin
Reading Newspapers quotes by Charles Darwin
A blanket could be used to help me with the love and affection of Taylor Swift. If that sounds unbelievable, then try reading it soundlessly. ~ Jarod Kintz
Reading Newspapers quotes by Jarod Kintz
I shall not be lonely. No one who reads is ever that. ~ Mildred Aldrich
Reading Newspapers quotes by Mildred Aldrich
To explain the Use of Education, no Method can be more effectual, than to shew what dull Mistakes and silly Notions Men are apt to be led into for Want of it. These Mistakes are so numerous, that if we were to undertake to divulge all the Errors that Men of no Knowledge in the Sciences labour under, the shortest Way would be to publish a compleat System of Natural Philosophy, which Learning, as it may be acquired by reading the different Books, which have already been wrote upon that Subject, in this Aera of the Sciences, such an Undertaking would be quite needless at this Time, even supposing the Author capable of that laborious Work. If the following Sheets do but serve to divest Men of some of those unreasonable Obstinacies with which they and their Forefathers have long been prepossessed, the Time will be well laid out, both of the Writer and Reader. ~ Stephen Fovargue
Reading Newspapers quotes by Stephen Fovargue
As for reading, I wish I had a magic door to a library where I could go in, read for days and days, and come back in the same minute I left. I'm still looking for the door. ~ David Mitchell
Reading Newspapers quotes by David Mitchell
What I do believe is that there is always a relationship between writing and reading, a constant interplay between the writer on the one hand and the reader on the other. ~ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Reading Newspapers quotes by Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Television watching does reduce reading and often encroaches on homework. Much of it is admittedly the intellectual equivalent of junk food. But in some respects, such as its use of standard written English, television watching is acculturative. ~ Edward Hirsch
Reading Newspapers quotes by Edward Hirsch
If you start reading some book, even a very easy one, or listen to the clearest lecture in the world, with excessive attention, and an exaggerated concentration of mind, not only does the easy become difficult for you, not are you amazed and surprised and grieved at an unexpected difficulty, not do you strive harder to understand than you would have with less attention, not only do you understand less, but, if your attention and the fear of not understanding or of not letting something escape is really extreme, you will understand absolutely nothing, as if you hadn't read, and hadn't listened, and as if your were completely intent on another matter. For from to much comes nothing, and to much attention to a thing is the equivalent, in effect, of not paying attention, and of having another, completely different occupation, that is, attention itself. Nor will you be to gain your purpose unless you relax, and slow down your mind, placing it in a natural state, and soothe and put aside your concern to understand, which only in that case will be useful. ~ Giacomo Leopardi
Reading Newspapers quotes by Giacomo Leopardi
He was righteous. He had a sense of duty, of what was right and wrong in the world, and I don't mean that in some evangelical sense of the word. And I don't mean that his world was just black and white. He just had a code, you know? He used to talk about that, about how few people had CODES anymore. It was his thing. He was always reading books about the samurai, about Japanese culture. ~ Nickolas Butler
Reading Newspapers quotes by Nickolas Butler
That book taught me that by reading, I could live more intensely. It could give me back the sight I had lost. For that reason alone, a book that didn't matter to anyone changed my life. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Reading Newspapers quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
As far as nonviolence and Spiritual Activism, Marshall Rosenberg is it! Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, is essential reading for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills. Applying the concepts within the book will help guide the reader towards a more loving, compassionate, and nonviolent way of understanding and functioning with others, and foster more compassion in the world. I highly recommend this book. ~ Marianne Williamson
Reading Newspapers quotes by Marianne Williamson
For students of every ability and background, it is the simply miraculous act of reading a good book that turns them into readers. The job of adults who care about reading is to move heaven and earth to put that book into a child's hands. ~ Nancy Atwell
Reading Newspapers quotes by Nancy Atwell
I'm recapitulating ... condensing ... it's the Readers Digest style ... people only have time to read thirty pages ... apparently! ... maximum! ... that's all they have time for! they horse around for sixteen hours out of twenty-four, they sleep, they copulate the rest, where would they find the time to read a hundred pages? oh, do caca, I forgot! as well! ~ Louis Ferdinand Celine
Reading Newspapers quotes by Louis Ferdinand Celine
Reading was like an addiction; I read while I ate, on the train, in bed until late at night, in school, where I'd keep the book hidden so I could read during class. Before long I bought a small stereo and spent all my time in my room, listening to jazz records. But I had almost no desire to talk to anyone about the experience I gained through books and music. I felt happy just being me and no one else. In that sense I could be called a stack-up loner. ~ Haruki Murakami
Reading Newspapers quotes by Haruki Murakami
The book: an umbrella against ignorance ~ Andre Letria
Reading Newspapers quotes by Andre Letria
In the early '90s, when I really started to find my voice, I was reading a lot of books, and I was moved by the writers, like Chinua Achebe, and I wanted to be able to write rhymes that were as potent as what I was reading. ~ Mos Def
Reading Newspapers quotes by Mos Def
Everything you do gives a clue about yourself! The clothes you wear, the books you read, the cars you drive, the songs you listen, the streets you love, everything you do is you! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Reading Newspapers quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Reading is the way mankind delays the inevitable. Reading is the way we shake our fist at the sky. As long as we have these epic, improbable reading projects arrayed before us, we cannot breathe our last: Tell the Angel of Death to come back later; I haven't quite finished Villette. ~ Joe Queenan
Reading Newspapers quotes by Joe Queenan
I'm big on research. I love research, so I tend to do a lot of reading. ~ Scott Ellis
Reading Newspapers quotes by Scott Ellis
The book is not an object on the table; it is an event in the reader's mind. It's a process, through which an idea in my mind triggers an idea, more-or-less corresponding, in yours. The words on the page are merely the means to that end, a think-by-numbers set, a bottled daydream. The book, therefore, is only finished when someone reads it. - Sidelines ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
Reading Newspapers quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
reading is learning and for fun ~ Jeremy Lam
Reading Newspapers quotes by Jeremy Lam
I desire to tamper with the jury law. I wish to alter it as to put a premium on intelligence and character, and close the jury box against idiots, blacklegs, and people who do not read newspapers. ~ Mark Twain
Reading Newspapers quotes by Mark Twain
You revolutionists' the other continued, with leisurely self-confidence, 'are the slaves of the social convention, which is afraid of you; slaves of it as much as the very police that stands up in the defence of that convention. Clearly you are, since you want to revolutionize it. It governs your action, too, and thus neither your thought nor your action can ever be conclusive. (...) 'You are not a bit better than the forces arrayed against you -- than the police, for instance. The other day I came suddenly upon Chief Inspector Heat at the corner of Tottenham Court Road. He looked at me very steadily. But I did not look at him. Why should I give him more than a glance ? He was thinking of many things -- of his superiors, of his reputation, of the law courts, of his salary, of newspapers -- of a hundred things. But I was thinking of my perfect detonator only. He meant nothing to me. He was as insignificant as -- I can't call to mind anything insignificant enough to compare him with -- except Karl Yundt perhaps. Like to like. The terrorist and the policeman both come from the same basket. Revolutions, legality -- counter moves in the same game; forms of idleness at bottom identical. He plays his little game -- so do you propagandists. ~ Joseph Conrad
Reading Newspapers quotes by Joseph Conrad
In truly good writing no matter how many times you read it you do not know how it is done. That is beacause there is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dis-sect out. It continues and it is always valid. Each time you re-read you see or learn something new. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Reading Newspapers quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
I should as soon expect a farmer to prosper in business who contented himself with sowing his fields and never looking at them till harvest, as expect a believer to attain much holiness who was not diligent about his Bible reading, his prayers, and the use of his Sundays. ~ J.C. Ryle
Reading Newspapers quotes by J.C. Ryle
The elder Bush explained later that "watching your son taking a pounding from his critics was much, much harder" than being president. "Barbara quit reading the papers and watching the new, but I couldn't do that ~ Nancy Gibbs; Michael Duffy
Reading Newspapers quotes by Nancy Gibbs; Michael Duffy
Read the books which they [the ancients] have written, read those which you prefer, they will speak to you and you will speak to them" - St Bernardino of Siena (d. 1444) ~ Bernardino Of Siena
Reading Newspapers quotes by Bernardino Of Siena
I love to cook. I spend weekends reading cookbooks-it's really my relaxation. ~ Ali Larter
Reading Newspapers quotes by Ali Larter
Above all, a book is a riverbank for the river of language. Language without the riverbank is only television talk - a free fall, a loose splash, a spill. ~ Cynthia Ozick
Reading Newspapers quotes by Cynthia Ozick
Did you know six minutes of reading can help reduce stress levels by up to sixty percent?"
... "That's sixty-eight percent better than listening to music, one hundred percent better than drinking tea, and three hundred percent better than going for a walk. ~ Emma Gannon
Reading Newspapers quotes by Emma Gannon
If you are reading this, you will get what you want. Believe in yourself and that's inspiration. ~ Chandan Sharma
Reading Newspapers quotes by Chandan Sharma
Learning from books is so empowering - whether it be from history, a novel or a poem. When you come away from reading having learned something, you yourself are bigger. ~ Lisa Lucas
Reading Newspapers quotes by Lisa Lucas
Reading was not just an escape or a Band-Aid; it was a deep form of feeling seen and recognized, and being able to see and recognize other kindred spirits. My dad was a writer, too, which also likely had something to do with that. ~ Garth Risk Hallberg
Reading Newspapers quotes by Garth Risk Hallberg
The journey is the mystery ... the destination the answer. If you don't have a happy ending yet, you have not finished reading the right book. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Reading Newspapers quotes by Shannon L. Alder
There are two kinds of books in the world
the boring kind they make you read in school and the interesting kind that they won't let you read in school because then they would have to talk about real stuff like sex and divorce and is there a God and if there isn't then what happens when you die, and how come the history books have so many lies in them. ~ LouAnne Johnson
Reading Newspapers quotes by LouAnne Johnson
Immersing myself in Shakespeare's plays, reading them closely under the guidance of a brilliant, plain-spoken professor changed my life: It opened up the great questions; it put my petty problems into perspective. It got me out of bed in the mornings and kept me in the library late into the night. ~ Jhumpa Lahiri
Reading Newspapers quotes by Jhumpa Lahiri
If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets. ~ Maynard James Keenan
Reading Newspapers quotes by Maynard James Keenan
The Bible is the most inspired book of all times. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Reading Newspapers quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
When you read a book, you create that tonal bandwidth. You set a tone for yourself, as you're reading it, in which everything exists within the world of your imagination. ~ Nina Jacobson
Reading Newspapers quotes by Nina Jacobson
The decisive moment in the defeat of upper class, capital-S, Society may have come when, in newspapers all over the nation, what used to be call the Society page was replaced by the Style section. ~ Joseph Epstein
