Considerations for No. 84

I’ve seen a book and watched a movie, and the picture is still there when I’m reading. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve seen a love letter before, and the story of the movie I’m watching is right in front of me. If I was born at that time, I should have lived in Hailian. In the city, there is no need to run back and forth for a living. I may also have a cigarette in my mouth, reading letters, and humorously teasing various characters... Frank's blue cloth carpet is a blessing of poverty, stepping on it gently, that is his blessing... Moved, envied, or helpless. A good friendship does not need to meet, and it is always good to miss.

84 Charing Cross Road quotes

  • Helene Hanff: Being used to the dead white paper and the stiff cardboardy covers of American books, I never knew a book could be such a joy to the touch.

  • Helene Hanff: [typing] WHAT KIND OF A BLACK PROTESTANT BIBLE IS THIS! Kindly inform the Church of England they have loused up the most beautiful prose even written. Who ever taught Dr. Tindall the Vulgate Latin. They'll burn for it, mark my words. It's nothing to me, I'm Jewish myself, but I have a Catholic sister-in-law, a Methodist sister-in-law, a whole raft of Presbyterian cousins, through my late Uncle Abraham who was converted, and an aunt who's a Christian Science healer. And I'd like to think none of them would countenance an Anglican Latin Bible if they knew it existed. As it happens, they don't know Latin existed.
