Glance Glimpse Difference Quickly Immediately Newspaper Report Book

Front What's the difference between "glance" and "glimpse"?
Back If you "glance at" something or someone, you look at them very quickly and then look away again immediately. If you "glance through" or "at" a newspaper, report, or book, you spend a short time looking at it without reading it very carefully. If you get a "glimpse OF" someone or something, you see them very briefly and not very well. A glimpse of something is a brief experience of it or an idea about it that helps you understand or appreciate it better ("a glimpse into the future").
