“I am drowning, my dear, in seas of fire.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Marcus Aurelius
“Observe, in short, how transient and trivial is all mortal life; yesterday a drop of semen, tomorrow a handful of spice or ashes. Spend, therefore, these fleeting moments of earth as Nature would have you spend them, and then go to your rest with a good grace, as an olive falls in its season, with a blessing for the earth.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Virginia Woolf
“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees
and changing leaves.”
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
