Letter Writing

Famous quotes containing the words letter and/or writing:

    To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
