Writing Speeches

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or speeches:

    “I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only
    way that I can do it. Everybody is a real one to me,
    everybody is like some one else too to me. No one of
    them that I know can want to know it and so I write
    for myself and strangers.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “[T]he late Samuel McChord Crothers, genial wit and essayist, ... after listening to the speeches at a certain Harvard Commencement remarked that he gathered that the world had been in great danger, but that all would now be well.”
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
