Capital Letter

Famous quotes containing the words capital letter, capital and/or letter:

    Woman—with a capital letter—should by now have ceased to be a specialty. There should be no more need of “movements” on her behalf, and agitations for her advancement and development ... than for the abolition of negro slavery in the United States.
    Marion Harland (1830–1922)

    There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other’s heart.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    A letter with it
    discloses, in its words and between them,
    a life opening, fearful, fearless,
    thousand-eyed, a field
    of sparks that move swiftly
    in darkness....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
