“Why, from the very windows, even in the dusk, you see a swelling run through the street, an aspiration, as with arms outstretched, eyes desiring, mouths agape. And then we peaceably subside. For if the exaltation lasted we should be blown like foam into the air. The stars would shine through us. We should go down the gale in salt drops- as sometimes happens. For the impetuous spirits will have none of this cradling. Never any swaying or aimlessly lolling for them. Never any making believe, or lying cosily, or genially supposing that one is much like another, fire warm, wine pleasant, extravagance a sin.”
― Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room

“One can tip too much as well as too little, indeed the coin that buys the exact truth has not yet been minted.”

“Excuse my mistakes, realize my limitations. Life is not easy as we know it on the earth.”
