Quote This guy I chatted with earlier texted me : You might be interested in a quotation by a non-stutterer from a letter written many years ago by Thomas Carlyle, the historian, to Ralph Waldo Emerson, dated November 17, 1843. He said “a stammering man is never a worthless one…It is an excess of delicacy, excess of sensibility to the presence of his fellow-creature, that makes his stammer.” Even in those days they realized that sensitivity was an important factor in actuating and maintaining stuttering.
