Dorothy Bussy (née Strachey) was the daughter of famed British soldier and colonial administrator Sir Richard Strachey, and his wife Lady Jane Strachey, an author and a supporter of woman's suffrage.

Quotes by Dorothy Bussy (?)

“Was this stab in my heart, this rapture, really mine or had I merely read about it? For every feeling, every vicissitude of my passion, there would spring into my mind a quotation from the poets. Shakespeare or Donne or Heine had the exact phrase for it. Comforting, perhaps, but enraging too. Nothing ever seemed spontaneously my own.”
― Dorothy Strachey, Olivia

“How hard it is to kill hope! Time after time, one thinks one has trodden it down, stamped it to death. Time after time, like a noxious insect, it begins to stir again, it shivers back again into a faint tremulous life. Once more it worms its way into one's heart, to instil its poison, to gnaw away the solid hard foundations of life and leave in their place the hollow phantom of illusion.”
― Dorothy Strachey, Olivia
