Virginia Woolf
“Despairing of human relationships (people were so difficult), she often went into her garden and got from her flowers a peace which men and women never gave her.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Ursula K. Le Guin
“All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. Without them, our lives get made up for us by other people. Human beings have always joined in groups to imagine”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Words Are My Matter: Writings About Life and Books, 2000-2016

Tove Jansson
“Sophia," she said, "this is really not something to argue about. You can see for yourself that life is hard enough without being punished for it afterwards. We get comfort when we die, that's the whole idea."

"It's not hard at all!" Sophia shouted. "And what are you going to do about the Devil, then? He lives in Hell!"

For a moment Grandmother considered saying that there was no Devil either, but she didn't want to be mean.”
Tove Jansson, The Summer Book

Virginia Woolf
“I think sometimes I am not a woman, but the light that falls on this gate, on this ground. I am the seasons, I think sometimes, January, May, November; the mud, the mist, the dawn.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Some of you will have fine monuments by which the living may remember the evil done to you. Some of you will have only crude wooden crosses or painted rocks, while yet others of you must remain hidden in the shadows of history.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant
