Warning Letters

Famous quotes containing the words warning and/or letters:

    “No longer mourn for me when I am dead
    Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
    Give warning to the world that I am fled
    From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
    Nay, if you read this line, remember not
    The hand that writ it; for I love you so,
    That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
    If thinking on me then should make you woe.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Harvey: About this Voltaire.
    Helene: What about him?
    Harvey: How’d he ever get time to do all he did?
    Helene: He lived to be old.
    Harvey: Even so, how many letters did he write?
    Helene: Oh, I don’t know exactly. Thousands.
    Harvey: I can’t remember when I even wrote one.
    Helene: You should try.
    Harvey: It’s too late. I wouldn’t know where to send it.”
    —Tom Waldman (d. 1985)
