Letter Writing

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or writing:

    “Your letter of excuses has arrived. I receive the letter but do not admit the excuses except in courtesy, as when a man treads on your toes and begs your pardon—the pardon is granted, but the joint aches, especially if there is a corn upon it.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free.”
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
