Quotes by Dorothy Strachey (?)

“But there was no need of wine to intoxicate me. Everything in her proximity was intoxicating.”
― Dorothy Strachey, Olivia

“I understand," I cried to myself, "I understand at last. Life, life, life, this is life, full to overflowing with every ecstasy and every agony. It is mine, mine to hug, to exhaust, to drain.”
― Dorothy Strachey, Olivia

“I have often wondered what share Racine had in lighting the flame that began to burn in my heart that night, or what share proximity. If she hadn't read just that play or if she hadn't called me up by chance to sit so near her, in such immediate contact, would the inflammable stuff which I carried so unsuspectingly within me have remained perhaps outside the radius of the kindling spark and never caught fire at all? But probably not; sooner or later, it was bound to happen.”
― Dorothy Strachey, Olivia
