Letters have to pass two tests before they can be classed as good: they must express the personality both of the writer and of the recipient.
E. M. Forster
Image
Letters, like compilation tapes, were really vehicles for unexpressed emotions and she was clearly putting far too much time and energy into them.
David Nicholls
Image
Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.
Keanu Reeves
Image
Letters are signs of things, symbols of words, whose power is so great that without a voice they speak to us the words of the absent for they introduce words by the eye, not by the ear.
Isidore of Seville
Image
Letters are just pieces of paper, I said. Burn them, and what stays in your heart will stay keep them, and what vanishes will vanish.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Letters, from absent friends, extinguish fear, Unite division, and draw distance near Their magic force each silent wish conveys, And wafts embodied though, a thousand ways: Could souls to bodies write, death's pow'r were mean, For minds could then meet minds with heav'n between.
Aaron Hill
Image
letters are so much easier than living. One can give one's best.
May Sarton
Image
Letters are like wine if they are sound they ripen with keeping. A man should lay down letters as he does a cellar of wine.
Samuel Butler
Image
Letters of friendship require no study.
George Washington
Image
Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose. In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires.
Elizabeth Hardwick
Image
letters are not the first, but the last step in the progression from barbarism to civilisation.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
letters are venerable and the telephone valiant, for the journey is a lonely one, and if bound together by notes and telephones we went in company, perhaps - who knows? - we might talk by the way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Letters should be easy and natural, and convey to the persons to whom we send them just what we should say to the persons if we were with them.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
Letters of the condemned. Last words scratched on a cell’s wall. To write like that.
Anna Kamienska
Image
Letters form a by-path of literature, a charming, but occasional, retreat for people of cultivated leisure.
Agnes Repplier
Image
Letters are false really - they are expressions of the way you wish you were instead of the way you are.
Anne Sexton
Image
Letters are meaningless unless put together correctly. Words are worthless unless backed by truth. Sentences are handed out and judged accordingly, but only genuinely honest men or women can create writings that change the world forever.
Paul Morabito
Image
Letters should be easy and natural.
Bill Vaughan
Image
Letters are expectation packaged in an envelope.
Shana Alexander
Image
I get a lot of letters from people.
George Osborne
Image
I just so desperately wanted to be published in New Yorker, and I'd so desperately try to get something in it. But I'd always get nice letters back telling me that Mr. Shawn [William Shawn, the New Yorker's editor from 1952 to 1987] just didn't like this or didn't like that about what I submitted.
Kevin Sessums
Image
Books and opinions, no matter from whom they came, if they are in opposition to human rights, are nothing but dead letters.
Ernestine Rose
Image
A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.
John Stott
Image
Do not write me studied letters but ramble as you please.
Thomas Jefferson
