One of the pleasures of reading old letters is the knowledge that they need no answer. – Lord Byron
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from lifes page, And be alone on earth, as I am now. – Lord Byron
Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company. – Lord Byron
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship. – Lord Byron
I am sorry.. Can only say time accelerated and skidded…. When my correspondents reproach me for tardiness, I can only say that I give as much attention to a letter as I do to anything I write, and I work at least six and sometimes sixteen hours a day. – William S. Burroughs, letter to Mother and Dad, 1959
