Famous quotes containing the words letters and/or journals:

    “Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “Could slavery suggest a more complete servility than some of these journals exhibit? Is there any dust which their conduct does not lick, and make fouler still with its slime?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
