― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery

“For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.”
― Virginia Woolf, Orlando

“I prefer men to cauliflowers”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
