"I always had the deepest affection for..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“If people are highly successful in their professions they lose their sense. Sight goes. They have no time to look at pictures. Sound goes. They have no time to listen to music. Speech goes. They have no time for conversation. Humanity goes. Money making becomes so important that they must work by night as well as by day. Health goes. And so competitive do they become that they will not share their work with others though they have more themselves. What then remains of a human being who has lost sight, sound, and sense of proportion? Only a cripple in a cave.”

“It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life.”

“Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall”

“What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives acts and experiences otherwise than we do?”

“What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self.”

“As we judge others so are we judged by others. The suspicious will always be tormented by suspicion.”

“Love is the poetry of the senses.”

“Love is jealous, and ingenious in self-torture in proportion as it is pure and intense.”

“No medicine cures what happiness cannot.”
