Famous quotes containing the words wrote and/or letters:
“To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my lifeI wrote this some years agothat were worth the postage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (17721801)
