When people ask for time, it's always for time to say no. Yes has one more letter in it, but it doesn't take half as long to say.
Edith Wharton
Which is why we cannot say of the purloined letter that, like other objects, it must be or not be in a particular place but that unlike them it will be and not be where it is, wherever it goes.
Jacques Lacan
While I write this letter, I have a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
Boyle Roche
While the government can tell you that I am an innocent man, the government's letter cannot give me back my good name or my reputation.
Richard Jewell
Without such a Life, the Word as to the letter is dead.
Emanuel Swedenborg
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.
Voltaire
You don't carry in your countenance a letter of recommendation.
Charles Dickens
You don't expect to get the letter saying, Her Majesty would like to appoint you Knight Commander of the British Empire! It was just a completely overwhelming and exciting day.
Antony Sher
You get a letter from her agency embracing you into the family that says, 'It is our goal now to help you achieve your dream of being a songwriter, in John's memory.'
Arthur Godfrey
You glance at an e-mail. You give more attention to a real letter.
Judith Martin
You know when I really realized like "wow" what a gift this is was when I sang at camp and a girl wrote me a letter and said the song that I sung kept her from committing suicide.
Charles King
