Letters
An excerpt of a private letter Dave wrote to a Mr. Trosley around the time he started up the Byron Band ( 1981): "I don't really know much about Lawton and Sloman, cause when I got out of Heep I wanted to remember the good parts and f***k the rest. Everybody over the years has got fired or whatever only Mick is left and even I don't know whether he is going to try again. I'm very good friends with all of them now but it took a while."

Famous quotes containing the word letters:
“Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
That is not you.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
“American thinking, when it concerns itself with beautiful letters as when it concerns itself with religious dogma or political theory, is extraordinarily timid and superficial ... [I]t evades the genuinely serious problems of art and life as if they were stringently taboo ... [T]he outward virtues it undoubtedly shows are always the virtues, not of profundity, not of courage, not of originality, but merely those of an emasculated and often very trashy dilettantism.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose.... In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires....”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)
