Quotes about reading
reading mean kids
You gain all of the rights and privileges and respects that are afforded the majority, and that's ultimately what matters for your kids, or anybody - because we're all innocent of the fact that we are the way we are. But it also means the ways that you coped, and the languages and narratives and points of view that you had no choice but to make from the sidelines - and that often carried with them really acute readings of dominant society - those no longer have the same need. Todd Haynes

reading thinking office
When the President picks someone who is his ideological soul mate, that's his right, in my reading of "advise and consent."

Russ Feingold
