“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

“If kisses fast could flee
By letter, then with your sweet lips
My letters read should be”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac

“The nature of the epistolary genre was revealed to me: a form of writing devoted to another person. Novels, poems, and so on, were texts into which others were free to enter, or not. Letters, on the other hand, did not exist without the other person, and their very mission, their significance, was the epiphany of the recipient.”
― Amélie Nothomb, Life Form
