Letters Quotes
-
I have a passionate desire for personal privacy. I want to stand before the world, for good or bad, on the book I wrote, not on what I say in letters to friends, not on my husband and my home life, the way I dress, my likes and dislikes, et cetera. My book belongs to anyone who has the price, but nothing of me belongs to the public.
Margaret Mitchell
-
Men ignorant of letters, studious for their bellies, and ignominiously lazy.
George Sandys
-
Still, I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. We're in one, of course; but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out loud of a great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards. And people will say: 'Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring' and they'll say 'Oh yes, that's one of my favorite stories.
J. R. R. Tolkien
-
As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
George Bernard Shaw
-
I wish there was something that - I get all those wonderful letters and wonderful acknowledgments, and I wish I could be more appreciative of what I do. But it's hard for me.
Harvey Korman

I met Beckett at my brother’s place. That was a Big meeting, in capital letters. It was before war started, life was still normal. That time I was very lonely. We saw each other often. Before the war he had published already something, but his fame came in 1953. We never spoke about his work. He was a taciturn man. Sometimes a word escaped from his mouth. Sure, a word you would never forget. It would stick in your head... This friendship with Beckett is the most important experience in my life. He was fully alive for my way of working. What he could express in words, I did with my paintings.
Bram van Velde
-
I love the written word; I love when someone takes the time or leaves you a note or sends a letter.
Sandra Bullock
-
This is a free country. Folks have a right to send me letters, and I have a right not to read them.
William Faulkner
-
I would get some that say 'I am not fan' and they were probably a Yankee fan and there would be some mean letters. It was a little disappointing.
Pedro Martinez
-
Rebukes are easy from our betters,
From men of quality and letters;
But when low dunces will affront,
What man alive can stand the brunt?
Jonathan Swift
-
"I don't know where (letters sent by the Beatles to me) are. I have only a couple from George, which I'll never show anyone, but he wrote so many. So did the others. I probably threw them away. You do that when you're young-you don't think of the future.
Astrid Kirchherr
