I read about 3/4 of the letters and enjoyed each one I read. Here are a couple of quotes that stuck with me: Saint Jerome writing of receiving refugees from Rome: "We...were filled with a longing to turn the words of Scripture into action, and not to say holy things but to do them." Marie Antoinette speaking of her son just before her death: "Remember...how easy it is to speak to a child, yet how hard it is for him to understand you." A couple of my favorite letters included the one from George Washington to Nicola telling him off for suggesting W. be crowned king of the new nation, as well as a very blunt letter from Carl Jung to Sigmund Freud: "No doubt you will be outraged by this peculiar token of friendship, but it may do you good all the same."
