Famous quotes containing the words secular and/or writing:

“The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes; but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal.”

“A man who publishes his letters becomes a nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin. A writer, writing away, can always fix himself up to make himself more presentable, but a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.”
