“My Solitude is my Treasure, the best thing I have. I hesitate to go out. If you opened the little gate, I would not hop away—but oh how I sing in my gold cage.”
― A.S. Byatt, Possession

“...who shall measure the heat and violence of a poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

“Qui io tendevo da sempre. Da quando il mio tempo è cominciato. E quando me ne andrò di qui, questo sarà il punto mediano, a cui tutto correva, prima, e da cui tutto si allontanerà.”
― A.S. Byatt, Possession
