We cry for mercy to the next amusement, The next amusement mortgages our fields

Edward Young

When we have read a book or poem so often that we can no longer find any amusement in reading it by ourselves, we can still take pleasure in reading it to a companion. To him it has all the graces of novelty.

Adam Smith

In real life, shouldn't a wedding be an awesome party you throw with your great pal, in the presence of a bunch of your other friends? A great day, for sure, but not the beginning and certainly not the end of your friendship with a person you can't wait to talk about gardening with the for the next forty years.

Mindy Kaling

I could go on and on. But that is just what gardening is, going on and on. My philistine of a husband often told with amusement how a cousin when asked when he expected to finish his garden replied 'Never, I hope'. And that, I think, applies to all true gardeners.

Margery Fish

The highest branch of solitary amusement is reading; but even in the choice of books the fancy is first employed; for in reading, the heart is touched, till its feelings are examined by the understanding, and the ripening of reason regulate the imagination. This is the work of years, and the most important of all employments.

Mary Wollstonecraft

Computers, singing, reading, painting and gardening are my hobbies.

Arfa Karim

Reading was the only amusement I allowed myself

Benjamin Franklin

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

Dolly Parton

The great thing about reading for Quentin [Tarantino] is you're not reading for him, he's reading with you. So he sits right next to you.

Seth Rogen

I find I am growing fonder of gardening, listening to music and reading.

Sharmila Tagore

Excessively narrow reading is unhelpful, certainly. Reading only Serious Literature is no better than reading only trash in this respect.

Diane Setterfield

Cooking and gardening involve so many disciplines: math, chemistry, reading, history.

David Chang

When I was young, there was no such thing as YA. You simply went from reading children's novels to reading adult novels. So one year, I was reading Tove Jansson, and the next year, I was reading Stephen King.

Matt Haig

I have rock climbed but not in awhile. Love all sports, reading, cooking, some carpentry, gardening.

Scott Cohen

Weak minds may be injured by novel-reading; but sensible people find both amusement and instruction therein.

Henry Ward Beecher

Gardening is really an extended form of reading, of history and philosophy. The garden itself has become like writing a book. I walk around and walk around. Apparently people often see me standing there and they wave to me and I don't see them because I am reading the landscape.
