“I like the sense of one lighted room in the house while all the rest of the house, and the world outside, is in darkness. Just one lamp falling on my paper; it gives a concentration, an intimacy. What bad mediums letters are; you will read this in daylight, and everything will look different. I think I feel night as poignantly as you feel the separateness of human beings; one of those convictions which are so personal, so sharp, they hurt. It seems to me that I only begin to live after the sun has gone down and the stars have come out.”
― Vita Sackville-West, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
