Today's quote:

"I had specific instructions. I had been given, along with my first batch of letters, a yellowing carbon of a standard form letter…At first, I dutifully retyped this form, over and over again, uncomfortably scrawling my own name at the bottom, as instructed, then tossing the letters in the trash, also per office protocol. But as the months wore on, I found myself increasingly unable to ignore the raw emotion of the letters." ~ Joanna Smith Rakoff, "My adventures answering J.D. Salinger's mail" (Slate)
