“for women live much more in the past...they attach themselves to places;”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

“S-ar putea întâmpla fel de fel de miracole, continuase el fără s-o privească. Dar trebuie să te înveţe cineva cum să le priveşti, ca să ştii că sunt miracole. Altminteri, nici măcar nu le vezi. Treci pe lângă ele şi nu ştii că sunt miracole. Nu le vezi...”
― Mircea Eliade, Noaptea de Sânziene

“She would not say of any one in the world that they were this or were that. She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged. She sliced like a knife through everything; at the same time was outside, looking on. She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, far out to the sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day. Not that she thought herself clever, or much out of the ordinary. How she had got through life on the few twigs of knowledge Fraulein Daniels gave them she could not think. She knew nothing; no language, no history; she scarcely read a book now, except memoirs in bed; and yet to her it was absolutely absorbing; all this; the cabs passing; and she would not say of Peter, she would not say of herself, I am this, I am that.”
― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
