Famous quotes containing the words wrote and/or letters:
“You remind me of a child-friend who once wrote to tell me about her sister being married. Now I will tell you all about Bessies wedding. Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didnt matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“There are other letters for the child to learn than those which Cadmus invented. The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knolwedge, Grammatica parda, tawny grammar, a kind of mother-wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
