every letter is a love letter

Whatever a man prays for, he prays for a miracle. Every prayer reduces itself to this: Great God, grant that twice two be not four. -Ivan Turgenev, novelist and playwright (1818-1883)

This quote from the word of the day made me think of one of my favorite other quotes, which is "Every letter is a love letter." I thought I made this one up, but then I googled it and saw that others before me had thought of it too.
