Famous quotes containing the words wrote and/or letters:
“Above all, he possessed a hearty good-will to all men, and never wrote a cross or even careless word.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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] (1772–1801)
