I’m starting to meet people who don’t use Facebook and Twitter, who don’t even like texting. And when they want to communicate a sentiment that doesn’t evaporate, they actually take pen in hand. A halfway solution — or is it a gateway solution? — is the card that announces wit and intelligence. And, thus inspired, you do the rest.
This postcard collection gives you 100 cards. 50 literary quotes. Two of each. Delivered in a box that looks like a book. A good way to send messages that get pinned on bulletin boards. And a nice present. [To buy 100 literary postcards from Amazon, click here.]
The authors include Homer, Voltaire, Kate Chopin, Paul Verlaine, W.E.B. Du Bois, Geoffrey Chaucer, Franz Kafka, Joseph Conrad, Emily Brontë, Emmanuel Kant, Henrik Ibsen and Lewis Carroll.
Some of the quotations:
Aristotle: “Wit is well-bred insolence.”
E.M Forster: “Life is easy to chronicle, but bewildering to practice.”
Nicolo Machiavelli “Occasionally words must serve to veil the facts.”
Charles Dickens: “One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it’s left behind.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald: “They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.”
Virginia Woolf: “There is no denying the wild horse in us.”
Smart. The words and the idea for the cards.
