Ernestine Rose
Image
I would, if I could, always feed to music. The singularly graceless action of thus filling one's body with roots and dead animals and powdered grain is given some significance then. One can perform as a ritual what one is shamed to do as a utilitarian action.
Winifred Holtby
Image
Love is a great beautifier.

Words are the mind's wings, are they not?
Helen Keller
