“You come and see me among flowers and pictures, and think me mysterious, romantic, and all the rest of it. Being yourself very inexperienced and very emotional, you go home and invent a story about me, and now you can't separate me from the person you've imagined me to be. You call that, I suppose, being in love; as a matter of fact it's being in delusion.”

“The night and the stars, the dawn coming up, the barges swimming past, the sun setting.... Ah dear," she sighed, "well, the sunset is very lovely too. I sometimes think that poetry isn't so much what we write as what we feel, Mr. Denham.”
― Virginia Woolf, Night and Day

“A bird is a bird
Slavery means slavery
A knife is a knife
Death remains death”
― Zbigniew Herbert

“You don’t have to understand life. You just have to live it.”
