"Some people go to priests; others to..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.”

“No, she thought, one could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low.”

“Yes, yes, I'm coming. Right up the top of the house. One moment I'll linger. How the mud goes round in the mind-what a swirl these monsters leave, the waters rocking, the weeds waving and green here, black there, striking to the sand, till by degrees the atoms reassemble, the deposit sifts itself, and a gain through the eyes one sees clear and still, and there comes to the lips some prayer for the departed, some obsequy for the souls of those one nods to, the one never meets again.”

“I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things, Sam.”

“A friend should bear his friend's infirmities.”

“As one's gifts increase, his friends decrease.”

“The consciousness of good intention is the greatest solace of misfortunes.”

“The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.”

“But death was sweet, death was gentle, death was kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave them rest and forgetfulness; death was man’s best friend; when man could endure life no longer, death came and set him free.”
