Katherine Mansfield
“The mind I love must have wild places.”
Katherine Mansfield

Iris Murdoch
“I've felt as if I didn't exist, as if I were invisible, miles away from the world, miles away. You can't imagine how much alone I've been all my life.”
Iris Murdoch, The Sea, the Sea

Virginia Woolf
“So we discuss suicide, and the ghosts as I say, change so oddly in my mind; like people who live, & are changed by what one hears of them.
- Diary, 17 Mar 1932, IV, p.83.”
Virginia Woolf, The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Volume Four: 1931-1935

Michel de Montaigne
“Si on me presse de dire pourquoi je l'aimais, je sens que cela ne se peut exprimer, qu'en répondant: « Parce que c'était lui; parce que c'était moi. »”
Michel de Montaigne, Essais

Hilary Mantel
“You come to this place, mid-life. You don’t know how you got here, but suddenly you’re staring fifty in the face. When you turn and look back down the years, you glimpse the ghosts of other lives you might have led; all houses are haunted. The wraiths and phantoms creep under your carpets and between the warp and weft of fabric, they lurk in wardrobes and lie flat under drawer-liners. You think of the children you might have had but didn’t. When the midwife says, ‘It’s a boy,’ where does the girl go? When you think you’re pregnant, and you’re not, what happens to the child that has already formed in your mind? You keep it filed in a drawer of your consciousness, like a short story that never worked after the opening lines.”
Hilary Mantel, Giving Up the Ghost
