Cursive Quotes
Thinking Outrageously, I Write in Cursive.
Sufjan Stevens
No one looks at your hands to see how much they shake when you are interviewed to be a surgeon. The physical skills required are no greater than for writing cursive script. If an operation requires so much skill only a few surgeons can do it, you modify the operation to make it simpler.
Atul Gawande

Ann Beattie
I'm really interested in making a mark on a paper and letting that be cursive shorthand for an idea - that's the origin of cartooning.

Until quite recently poetry was taught badly-at least according to current academic standards. Poetry was used to teach grammar, elocution, and rhetoric. It was employed to convey history, both secular and sacred, often to instill patriotic sentiment and religious morality. Poetry was chanted in chorus at female academies. It was copied to teach cursive handwriting and calligraphy. It was memorized by wayward schoolboys as punishment. It was recited by children at public events and family gatherings. Being able to write verse was considered a social grace in both domestic and public life. Going to school meant becoming well versed.
