"These Are Travellers Notes Which I Offer Myself Should I Again Be Lost."

"A hint for the future. Always relieve pressure by a flight. Always violently turn the pillow: hack an outlet. Often a trifle does. A review offered of Marie Corelli by the Listener. These are travellers notes which I offer myself should I again be lost."

-- Virginia Woolf, Diary, January 26, 1940

How many times have I read Woolf's A Writer's Diary? Countless.
