Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Ab... - Virginia Woolf

"When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?"

"Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others."

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

"To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is...at last, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away..."

"Humor is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue."
