‘There dwelt the things one might have felt, had there been cause; the perfect happiness of which here we taste the fragment; the beauty seen here in flying glimpses only. No doubt much of the furniture of this world was drawn directly from the past…However the embellishment of this imaginary world might change, two qualities were constant in it. It was a place where feelings were liberated from the constraint which the real world puts upon them; & the process of awakenment was always marked by resignation & a kind of stoical acceptance of facts.’
Virginia Woolf
(Night & Day)
‘Of course I behave badly, but you can’t judge people by what they do. You can’t go through life measuring right & wrong with a foot-rule. That’s what you’re always doing; that’s what you’re doing now.’
Virginia Woolf
(Night & Day)
‘Outside the world, outside the past, outside myself, freedom is exile, & I am condemned to be free.’
Sartre
‘I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right & sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.’
Marilyn Monroe
