Henry James
“Her reputation for reading a great deal hung about her like the cloudy envelope of a goddess in an epic.”
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

Virginia Woolf
“It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Virginia Woolf
“What does the brain matter compared with the heart?”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Henry James
“It has made me better loving you... it has made me wiser, and easier, and brighter. I used to want a great many things before, and to be angry that I did not have them. Theoretically, I was satisfied. I flattered myself that I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid sterile hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can’t think of anything better. It’s just as when one has been trying to spell out a book in the twilight, and suddenly the lamp comes in. I had been putting out my eyes over the book of life, and finding nothing to reward me for my pains; but now that I can read it properly I see that it’s a delightful story.”
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

Virginia Woolf
“To love makes one solitary.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway
