Letters Quotes

I had been writing poems and stories since I learned to make letters. I had placed poems in a hardcover anthology at the age of 6. And I knew more big words than anyone else in the 10th grade Picture Quote #1

In Degas’s compositions with several dancers, their steps, postures and gestures often resemble the almost geometric, formal letters of an alphabet, whereas their bodies and heads are recalcitrant, sinuous and individual Picture Quote #1

I love seeing my book on shelves and getting letters from people who liked the book. I love telling stories and having other people tell stories to me Picture Quote #1

There is no evidence that the author of the Book of Revelation, John of Patmos, read anything that we think of as a New Testament book. I don’t see any evidence that he knew what was in the Gospels, or the letters of Paul, which I don’t think he would have liked at all Picture Quote #1

I’ve thought of publishing a book of my hate mail, but I don’t own the rights to the letters Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of letters, and a lot of people come say hi at book signings, but I’m amazed at how normal everybody is Picture Quote #1

I’ve always believed that dreams were both the love letters and the hate mail of the subconscious Picture Quote #1

On my honor - what an ennobling phrase! Three short words, nine letters, but the summation of all we call character. From the Boy Scout’s Oath Picture Quote #1

I spend several years trying to get inside the brain and heart of my subjects, listening to the interior monologues in their letters, and when I have to bridge the chasms between the factual evidence, I try to make an intuitive leap through the eyes and motivation of the person I’m writing about Picture Quote #1

The brain is the most complicated organ in the universe. We have learned a lot about other human organs. We know how the heart pumps and how the kidney does what it does. To a certain degree, we have read the letters of the human genome. But the brain has 100 billion neurons. Each one of those has about 10,000 connections Picture Quote #1

My inbox and doormat are full with emails and letters from people who want me to endorse their Higgs board game or to inaugurate the walkway of their new office atrium. There’s even a microbrewery in Barcelona which wants to know what my favourite beer is so they can brew a similar one in my honour. It is quite mad Picture Quote #1

There’s always a great deal of business to be transacted in one’s office. There are always visitors it seems to me, an unending stream of them, who come with letters of recommendation, or come actually on substantive business Picture Quote #1

A lot of people use a smiley face when they write letters. But it’s this huge insane compulsion, like ‘I’m happy! I swear!’ I’m not buying it Picture Quote #1

I get a lot of letters, mostly from family members who have been affected by cancer rather than young people themselves. I reply to them all Picture Quote #1

Sooner I’d try to change history than turn political, than try convincing others to write letters or to vote or to march or to do something they didn’t already feel like doing Picture Quote #1

A doctrine-teaching, character-building university, the Brigham Young University is dedicated to the building of character and faith, for character is higher than intellect . . . . We are men of God first, men of letters second, men of science third, and noted men fourth, men of rectitude rather than academic competence. . . . Our academic training must be as impeccable as our lives Picture Quote #1

More negatives write than call. It’s a cheap shot for me to go on the air with the critical letters or E-mail I get because the reaction of the listeners is always an instantaneous expression of sympathy for me and contempt for the poor critic Picture Quote #1

When I was very little, we would get letters from China, in Chinese, and they’ be censored. We were a very insular little family Picture Quote #1

I went to state in track, won the girls’ city championship, and did well in volleyball. I was a varsity cheerleader. So you know, shoot, I’ve got a couple of letters and things! Last I counted, I think there were eight in my mama’s house Picture Quote #1

I always write back to people who are kind enough to write to me. Actually, I don’t write - I recline on my red velvet sofa with my feet on the coffee table and dictate the letters to my eldest son Picture Quote #1

On occasion, I like to reread my grandfather’s letters. While leafing through them, I’m saddened by what is being lost in modern communication. Soul-baring sentimentality isn’t typically poured into text messages, tweets and emails. All too often, personal connections are brushed aside for the sake of convenience in a fast-paced world Picture Quote #1

I’m fascinated by the idea that genetics is digital. A gene is a long sequence of coded letters, like computer information. Modern biology is becoming very much a branch of information technology Picture Quote #1

On a shelf above my computer are five letters that spell out W-R-I-T-E. Just in case I forget why I’m there. I also have ‘Wonder Woman’ paraphernalia from when I wrote five issues of the comic, and pictures of my husband and kids Picture Quote #1

I think throughout the 20th century, for some reason, serious writers increasingly had contempt for the average reader. You can really see this in the letters of such people as Joyce and Virginia Woolf Picture Quote #1

I read letters and journal entries by [Georgia] O’Keeffe (which were infinitely more useful than any critical analysis of her work) Picture Quote #1

A wedding is at once a crowded place and a private room, packed with trusts and empty of all but the heart’s letters which one other heart may read and decipher Picture Quote #1

Social and cultural history is often comprised of whatever diaries and letters remain and that is down to chance and wide open to interpretation Picture Quote #1

We rent one in three tuxedos in the U.S. and Canada, and if we make a mistake, our employees will deliver to the customer’s home, office, or wedding. We get a couple hundred letters a week praising the service in our stores Picture Quote #1

Two dads have sent me letters that said my books changed their daughters’ lives. I send them packages with T-shirts and posters because, come on... that’s the coolest Picture Quote #1

Give the villagers village arithmetic, village geography, village history and the literary knowledge that they must use daily, i.e. reading and writing letters, etc Picture Quote #1
