4) Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also — Samuel Taylor Coleridge

There [DreamTigers by Jorge Luis Borges] were these little fablesque things, you know, dream tigers, beautiful, beautiful pieces that when you read them had the power of a long piece, but they were prose, and they had the power of poetry, in that the last line wasn't the end, it was a reverberation, like when you tap on a glass made of crystal, and it goes ping. — Sandra Cisneros

For all the textbook reasons - any individual's reading of a photograph is preceded by the evidential authority of the medium.

To me, the process of writing is just reading what I've written and - like running your hand over one of those mod glass stovetops to find where the heat is - looking for where the energy is in the prose, then going in the direction of that.

For as the aged, or those whose sight is defective, when any book, however fair, is set before them, though they perceive that there is something written, are scarcely able to make out two consecutive words, but, when aided by glasses, begin to read distinctly, so Scripture, gathering together the impressions of Deity, which, till then, lay confused in our minds, dissipates the darkness, and shows us the true God clearly. — John Calvin
I used to have to do readings in church, and it was terrifying. I would never have my glasses. The words are printed so small even Superman would be nervous. And you’re reading from the Bible.

Uh, tell Jesus ‘Hey.’ This is the word of the Lord. — Jim Gaffigan

I may not be a man of means, bit I want to take care of you as best I can. — Catherine Sanderson

And she'd use anything she could find for a bookmark. My missing sock, an apple core, her reading glasses, another book, a fork. — Kami Garcia
It didn't help matters that I was shy and wore glasses. I was never one to stand out in the crowd. I liked to stay in corners. And I was happiest when I was alone reading.

So it was a foregone conclusion that boys like Hardy were never going to take notice of me. — Lisa Kleypas
Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it. — Stephen King
