"I miss you even more than I could have believed ;and I was prepared to miss you a good deal"

-Virginia Woolf, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

"Damn you, spoilt creature; I shan’t make you love me any the more by giving myself away like this."

-Virginia Woolf, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

"I believe that the main thing in beginning a novel is to feel, not that you can write it, but that it exists on the far side of a gulf, which words can't cross; that its to be pulled through only in a breathless anguish. [VW]"

-Virginia Woolf, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

"And still the strange meaningless conversations continue, and I wonder more and more at the fabric which nets the world together, so that anything which I do finally incubate out of my system into words will quite certainly be about solitude. Solitude and the desirability of it, if one is to achieve anything like continuity in life, is the one idea I find in the resounding vacancy which is my head."

-Virginia Woolf, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
