Five Great Quotations about Readers

“…no reader ever asks a question. A writer must force his favors upon his readers.” – Jan Neruda

“The paper is patient, but the reader is not.” – Joseph Joubert

“A writer only begins a book. A reader finishes it.” – Samuel Johnson

“Only a generation of readers will span a generation of writers.” – Steven Spielberg
