"And when we are writing the life..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“But Sasha who after all had no English blood in her but was from Russia where the sunsets are longer, the dawns less sudden, and sentences often left unfinished from doubt as to how best to end them.”

“...solitary like a pool at evening, far distant, seen from a train window, vanishing so quickly that the pool, pale in the evening, is scarcely robbed of its solitude, though once seen. *** Here sitting on the world, she thought, for she could not shake herself free from the sense that everything this morning was happening for the first time, perhaps for the last time, as a traveller, even though he is half asleep, knows, looking out of the train window, that he must look now, for he will never see that town, or that mule-cart, or that woman at work in the fields, again.”

“Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing.”

“I prefer women with a past. They're always so damned amusing to talk to.”

“A woman can do anything a man can do today and then some. She can even have a child without a man.”

“If women ran the world, we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.”

“We seek our friend not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion which would appropriate him to ourselves.”

“How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.”

“As I love nature, as I love singing birds, and gleaming stubble, and flowing rivers, and morning and evening, and summer and winter, I love thee, my Friend.”
