No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than you... - Virginia Woolf

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

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

"Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent."

"The beauty of the world...has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder."

"As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman, my country is the whole world."
