Short Letters

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or letters:

    You’re too short for that gesture. Besides, it went out with Mrs. Fiske.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    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.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
