Letters Quotes (page 23)

I told them this novel was an American classic, in many ways the quintessential American novel. There were other contenders: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Moby-Dick, The Scarlet Letter. Some cite its subject matter, the American Dream, to justify this distinction. We in ancient countries have our past--we obsess over the past. They, the Americans, have a dream: they feel nostalgia about the promise of the future. Azar Nafisi
Margaret Atwood quote: "The heart with letters on it shining like a light bulb through..."

If every life is a river, then it's little wonder that we do not even notice the changes that occur until we are far out in the darkest sea.

When I write to you, I feel your breath; when you read them, I imagine you feel mine. Is it that way with you too?

Thank you for helping me survive this year, but more than that, thank you in advance for all the years to come. Nicholas Sparks

The current generation now sees everything clearly, it marvels at the errors, it laughs at the folly of its ancestors, not seeing that this chronicle is all overscored by divine fire, that every letter of it cries out, that from everywhere the piercing finger is pointed at it, at this current generation; but the current generation laughs and presumptuously, proudly begins a series of new errors, at which their descendants will also laugh afterwards. Nikolai Gogol
Now, Bill, sit where you are," said the beggar. "If I can't see, I can hear a finger stirring. Business is business. Hold out your right hand.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Cornelia Funke
