Letters

Famous quotes containing the word letters:

“My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.”

“Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls.
For, thus friends absent speak.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

“American thinking, when it concerns itself with beautiful letters as when it concerns itself with religious dogma or political theory, is extraordinarily timid and superficial ... [I]t evades the genuinely serious problems of art and life as if they were stringently taboo ... [T]he outward virtues it undoubtedly shows are always the virtues, not of profundity, not of courage, not of originality, but merely those of an emasculated and often very trashy dilettantism.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
