Letters quotations

- Haruki Murakami99◆ An isolated person requires correspondence as a means of seeing his ideas as others see them, and thus guarding against the dogmatisms and extravagances of solitary and uncorrected speculation. No man can learn to reason and appraise from a mere perusal of the writing of others. If he live not in the world, where he can observe the public at first hand and be directed toward solid reality by the force of conversation and spoken debate, then he must sharpen his discrimination and regulate his perceptive balance by an equivalent exchange of ideas in epistolary form.
- H.P. Lovecraft99◆ But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good.
- Sylvia Plath99◆ Andrew is such a diplomatic name. Or at least it is for the first three letters, as and is a word that works hard to join things together and promote cohesiveness.?
- Jarod Kintz99◆ the letters are mixed up. U and I should be together.
- Jodi Picoult99◆ To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.
- Phyllis Theroux99◆ The kind of life I want is to be a person who would get a personal note every day.
- Sara Zarr99◆ My education was neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading.
- Mary Shelley99◆ Dear, I can't write, it's all a fantasy: a kind of circling obsession.
- Philip Larkin99◆ I should have written you a letter, it was too late to make the deaths of my brothers an excuse. Since they died, I wrote a book; why not a letter? A mysterious but truthful answer is that while I can gear myself up to do a novel, letters, real-life communications, are too much for me. I used to rattle them off easily enough; why is the challenge of writing to friends and acquaintances too much for me now? Because I have become such a solitary, and not in the Aristotelian sense: not a beast, not a god. Rather, a loner troubled by longings, incapable of finding a suitable language and despairing at the impossibility of composing messages in a playable key--as if I no longer understood the codes used by the estimable people who wanted to hear from me and would have so much to reply if only the impediments were taken away.
- Saul Bellow99◆ Only in hindsight can we see that out fears and worries were unwarranted, that insecurities and doubts were just illussions, or that we should have taken a risk or dared something new sooner.
- Ellyn Spragins99◆ Because thou writest me often, I thank thee ... Never do I receive a letter from thee, but immediately we are together.
- Seneca99◆ I'm more than ever of the opinion that a decent human existence is possible today only on the fringes of society, where one then runs the risk of starving or being stoned to death. In these circumstances, a sense of humor is a great help.
- Hannah Arendt99◆ There is bad in all good authors: what a pity the converse isn't true!
- Philip Larkin99◆ A letter from the heart may never be judged or graded, for it is the masterpiece of one's love.
