“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
“Better to be despised and have a servant, than to be self-important and lack food.”

“But neither steele nor stony breast
Are proof against those lookes of thine,
Nor can a Beauty lesse divine
Of any heart be long possest,
Where thou pretendst an interest.”
