If wishes were horses, I'd have a whole herd of them, roan and buckskin, lovely wild horses, never bridled, never broken, galloping over the plains past red mesas and blue mountains.

― Ursula K. Le Guin, Changing Planes

“Altogether after reading your letter I felt like a stroked cat.”
― Vita Sackville-West, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
