Letter Written

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or written:

    With the nippers to wheel round the houses
    And the hall to paint in his old trousers
    And that letter to her mother
    Saying Won’t you come for the summer.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Mr. Wiggam, I want you to change the policy of The Clarion. I want you to write a story I should have written myself long ago. I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
