“I always have such need to merely talk to you. Even when I have nothing to talk about – with you I just seem to go right ahead and sort of invent it. I invent it for you. Because I never seem to run out of tenderness for you and because I need to feel you near. Excuse the bad writing and excuse the emotional overflow.

― Virginia Woolf

“Whenever I let the slightest thing make me forget myself, I can't help but be disappointed”
