Here are two that I love, that appeal to me as both writer and calligrapher, about the power and beauty of writing and letters:


"True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance."
-Alexander Pope

And this:


"Whence did the wondrous mystic art arise,
Of painting speech and speaking to the eyes?"
-William Massey
