“Our Ford - or Our Freud, as, for some inscrutable reason, he chose to call himself whenever he spoke of psychological matters - Our Freud had been the first to reveal the appalling dangers of family life. The world was full of fathers - was therefore full of misery; full of mothers - therefore of every kind of perversion from sadism to chastity; full of brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts - full of madness and suicide.”

“But why should she not announce to the family that she was going to change, was in the process of changing? She could not. They would see it as a claim on their attention, their compassion. (...) (That was not how people changed; they didn't change themselves: you got changed by being made to live through something, and then you found yourselve changed.)”

“Vart ska vi fara? säger Johannes
Nej nu frågar du som om du fortfarande var vid liv, säger Peter
Inte till någon plats? säger Johannes
Nej dit vi nu ska, det är inte någon plats, och därför har den heller inte något namn, säger Peter
Är det farligt? säger Johannes
Farligt, nej, säger Peter
Farligt är ett ord, det finns inga ord där, säger Peter
Gör det ont? säger Johannes
Det finns inte kroppar där, så ont finns inte, säger Peter
Men själen, gör det ont i själen där? säger Johannes”

“Oh it was a letter from her! This blue envelope; that was her hand. And he would have to read it. Here was another of those meetings, bound to be painful! To read her letter needed the devil of an effort. 'How heavenly it was to see him. She must tell him that.' That was all. But it upset him. It annoyed him. He wished she hadn't written it. Coming on top of his thoughts, it was like a nudge in the ribs. Why couldn't she let him be? After all, she had married Dalloway, and lived with him in perfect happiness all these years.”
