Famous quotes containing the words red and/or letter:

    Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    ... everybody who is human has something to express. Try not expressing yourself for twenty-four hours and see what happens. You will nearly burst. You will want to write a long letter or draw a picture or sing, or make a dress or a garden.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
