Wrote Letters

Famous quotes containing the words wrote and/or letters:

“This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me—
The simple news that Nature told,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
