Letter Writing

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or writing:

    With the nippers to wheel round the houses
    And the hall to paint in his old trousers
    And that letter to her mother
    Saying Won’t you come for the summer.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I don’t really think that writers, even great writers, are prophets, or sages, or Messiah-like figures; writing is a lonely, sedentary occupation and a touch of megalomania can be comforting around five on a November afternoon when you haven’t seen anybody all day.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
