Milan Kundera
“The characters in my novels are my own unrealised possibilities. That is why I am equally fond of them all and equally horrified by them. Each one has crossed a border that I myself have circumvented.”
Milan Kundera

Virginia Woolf
“clumsiness is often mated with a love of solitude.”
Virginia Woolf, Orlando
