“I hope you miss me, though I could scarcely (even in the cause of vanity) wish you to miss me as much as I miss you, for that hurts too much, but what I do hope is that I’ve left some sort of a little blank which won’t be filled till I come back. I bear you a grudge for spoiling me for everybody’s else companionship, it is too bad.”
― Vita Sackville-West

“People cannot be free unless they are willing to sacrifice some of their interests to guarantee the freedom of others.”
― Saul D. Alinsky, Rules for Radicals

“Homesick we are, and always, for another
And different world.”
― Vita Sackville-West, The Garden

“I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. Oh my dear, I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly.You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defences. And I don’t really resent it.”
― Vita Sackville-West
