“All love is a weakness, if it comes to that, in so far as it destroys some part of our independence.”
― Vita Sackville-West, The Edwardians

“No sabía que a una mujer podían matarla por el solo hecho de ser mujer, pero había escuchado historias que, con el tiempo, fui hilvanando. Anécdotas que no habían terminado en la muerte de la mujer, pero que sí habían hecho de ella objeto de la misoginia, del abuso, del desprecio.”
― Selva Almada, Chicas muertas

“She loves in a way that will make her suffer horribly.”
― Vita Sackville-West

“There had been no moments when she could differentiate and say: Then, at such a moment, I love him; and again, Then, at such another, I loved him not. The stress had been constant. her love for him had been a straight black line drawn right through her life. It had hurt her, it had damaged her, it had diminished her, but she had been unable to curve away from it.”
― Vita Sackville-West, All Passion Spent
