“All that matters to me is to know that I have a brother. I cannot explain the immensity of love I have for that boy who ran. The love that one has for simulacra. For that which is not visible, but has light. For a little boy with a passionate wish to die.”
― Fleur Jaeggy, S. S. Proleterka

“Remember, when you fear what might befall you, that Life has not abandoned you, that it is holding you, and out of its web you cannot fall - why would you want to exclude from your existence any unrest, any pain, any heaviness?”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“So dull, I am; dull outwardly, at least; all oafish and muddy; but not dull inside. A week's solitude restores me to the sense that I am a person and not a rag-heap for other people to pick over.”
― Vita Sackville-West, Love Letters: Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

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