Letter Quotes

Men want to put their signature at the bottom; women don’t want to finish that letter Picture Quote #1

How often I have tried to tell writing students that the first thing a writer must do is love the reader and wish the reader well. The writer must trust the reader to be at least as intelligent as he is. Only in such well wishing and trust, only when the writer feels he is writing a letter to a good friend, only then will the magic happen Picture Quote #1

One can take a neon tube and simply paint it black on the front. So it would read as a black letter or a line, but it would also read as neon because there would be light coming from behind that black letter Picture Quote #1

It is when one begins to lose the consciousness of freedom, and when the idea of necessity enters the world at all, when there is any hurry or strain anywhere, a letter to be written or a train to catch, when you have got to work, to make the horses of the dream gallop, or to make the rifles go off, that the dream is declining, and turning into the nightmare, which belongs to the poorest and most vulgar class of dreams Picture Quote #1

A letter is always better than a phone call. People write things in letters they would never say in person. They permit themselves to write down feelings and observations using emotional syntax far more intimate and powerful than speech will allow Picture Quote #1

I had to wait nine days for a letter that said a lot of very silly things Picture Quote #1

If you’re building a startup or any sort of organization, take a few moments to reflect on the qualities that the people you most enjoy working with embody and the user experience of new people joining your organization, from the offer letter to their first day Picture Quote #1

Answering a letter from a church asking what else they should try after having failed to raise enough money on bake sales, bazaars, suppers, etc. Why not try religion? Picture Quote #1

The letter kills the spirit. The written text is mute in the face of responding challenge. It does not admit of inward growth and correction. Text subverts the absolutely vital role of memory Picture Quote #1

If I could only write, I’d write a nasty letter to the mayor, if he could only read Picture Quote #1

It has long been a theory of mine and I am known, if I do say so, for my long theories that authors, generally speaking, are rotten letter writers Picture Quote #1

Letter writing is an excellent way of slowing down this lunatic helterskelter universe long enough to gather one’s thoughts Picture Quote #1

Writing should... be as spontaneous and urgent as a letter to a lover, or a message to a friend who has just lost a parent... and writing is, in the end, that oddest of anomalies: an intimate letter to a stranger Picture Quote #1

In civilized societies, if you are offended by a cartoon, you do not burn flags, take up guns and raid buildings, chant death to your opponents, or threaten suicide bombings. You write a letter to the editor Picture Quote #1

I can count on one hand the number of people who wrote me a thank you letter after having an interview, and I gave almost all of them a job Picture Quote #1

A good play is a good play. If you want to chalk up your rejection letters to the fact that you’re a woman, that’s your choice. But often you get a rejection letter because your play isn’t ready. Or the time isn’t ready for your play. And that has nothing to do with gender Picture Quote #1

You’ll never regret writing any letter out of love. However, it’s a good idea to reread anything you’ve written in anger Picture Quote #1

Eating in a hurried or unconscious way, as so many of us have learned to do, is like receiving a love letter from the earth, but never taking the time to carefully read it Picture Quote #1

The pen is an instrument of discovery rather than just a recording implement. If you write a letter of resignation or something with an agenda, you’re simply using a pen to record what you have thought out Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to find a girl with a heart of gold, when you’re living in a four letter world Picture Quote #1

He speaks four letter language because his mind is small. His voice is like venom, I don’t like him at all Picture Quote #1

In your letter you apply the word imponderable to a molecule. Don’t do that again. It may also be worth knowing that the aether cannot be molecular. If it were, it would be a gas, and a pint of it would have the same properties as regards heat, etc., as a pint of air, except that it would not be so heavy Picture Quote #1

A prompt, generous letter of thanks can seal a commitment which otherwise might disappear when the going gets rough Picture Quote #1

I love the rebelliousness of snail mail, and I love anything that can arrive with a postage stamp. There’s something about that person’s breath and hands on the letter Picture Quote #1

All these tales of people sitting down and composing symphonies just as though they were writing a letter are very much exaggerated; at least, it isn’t that way in my work Picture Quote #1

To preserve my brains I want food and this is now my first consideration. Any sympathetic letter from you will be helpful to me here to get a scholarship Picture Quote #1

When you do not accept the insult some one casts on you, it goes back to the person who indulged in it first; a registered letter that is not accepted returns to the sender Picture Quote #1

I like to play the piano with lyrics as if it was a piece of love letter Picture Quote #1

Woe to the makers of literal translations, who by rendering every word weaken the meaning! It is indeed by so doing that we can say the letter kills and the spirit gives life Picture Quote #1

Procrastination is the longest word in the language, but there’s only one letter between its ends when they occupy their proper places in the alphabet Picture Quote #1
