Wrote Letters

Famous quotes containing the words wrote and/or letters:

“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)

“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)
