They are like peanuts or potato chips. Here are some quotes about writing...



More powerful than all poetry, more pervasive than all science, more profound than all philosophy are the letters of
the alphabet, twenty-six pillars of strength upon which our culture rests.
Anonymous



The making of letters in every form is for me the purest and the greatest pleasure, and at many stages of my life it
was to me what a song is to the singer, a picture to the painter, a shout to the elated, ore a sign to the oppressed. It
was and is for me the most happy and perfect expression of my life.
Rudolf Koch




Writing is a system of human communication that works through the use of visible signs. The beginnings of
writing are inseparably connected to those of art, and one must never treat them as different entities. All letters are
signs, and all signs began as pictures. The alphabet is the source.
Friedrich Neugebauer



Whence did the wondrous mystic art arise
Of painting speech and speaking to the eyes?
That we, by tracing magic lines
Are taught how to embody and to color thoughts.
William Massey
