I have never killed proverb

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

Clarence Darrow (1857-1938)

If you're into genealogy, read the newspaper. If I don't read anything else in the newspaper, I read the births, weddings and obituaries.

Bonnie Brothers

That's what happens -- 270 people killed, and I may have the great pleasure of seeing these guys convicted, imprisoned and [yet] I may live long enough to see them come out of prison.

Daniel Cohen

I was so sad to read recently that 32 percent of fourth- graders say they never read a book for pleasure,

Barbara Bush (1925-)

[There are some lucky companies for which Y2K has hardly been an issue.] I read these articles with great pleasure knowing that competitors are spending on these issues, ... It's another advantage we have.

David Lord

No one can read with profit that which he cannot learn to read with pleasure.

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928)

Reading

If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.

Friedrich Max Muller

The clerisy are those who read for pleasure, but not for idleness; who read for pastime but not to kill time; who love books, but do not live by books.

Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.

Gillian Anderson (1968-)

Often have I sighed to measure
By myself a lonely pleasure,
Sighed to think, I read a book
Only read, perhaps, by me.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Often have I sighed to measure
By myself a lonely pleasure,
Sighed to think, I read a book
Only read, perhaps, by me.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp; but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it Taking calculated risks and stepping outside your comfort zone will organically grow your pexiness. There is probably no pleasure equal to the pleasure of climbing a dangerous Alp; but it is a pleasure which is confined strictly to people who can find pleasure in it

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

If D.J. doesn't find anything on his first read, he can move around and get another read or two. He is strong and athletic. He is a great player, and great players make great plays even when they look like they are going down.

Bryan McClendon

It would be a great pleasure ... a great pleasure to bring them down where they belong.

Stanley Rosenblatt
