Love, the poet said, is woman's whole existence. - Virginia Woolf, Orlando

"He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life."

"Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice?"

"No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high."

"Love, the poet said, is woman's whole existence."

"Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces."
