Letter Copying Presses

Famous quotes containing the words letter, copying and/or presses:

    And the one bird singing alone to his nest,
    And the one star over the tower.

    And the letter that brought me back my ring;
    And it all seem’d then, in the waste of life,
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)

    As far as modern writing is concerned, it is rarely rewarding to translate it, although it might be easy.... Translation is very much like copying paintings.
    Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)

    Gratitude is a fickle thing, indeed. A person taking aim presses the weapon to his chest and cheek, but when he hits, he discards it with indifference.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
