Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or names:

    “For each letter received from a creditor, write fifty lines on an extraterrestrial subject and you will be saved.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
