Famous quotes containing the words journal and/or letters:
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“Harvey: About this Voltaire.
Helene: What about him?
Harvey: Howd he ever get time to do all he did?

Helene: Oh, I dont know exactly. Thousands.
Harvey: I cant remember when I even wrote one.
Helene: You should try.
Harvey: Its too late. I wouldnt know where to send it.”
—Tom Waldman (d. 1985)
