war is a man's game ... the killing machine has a gender and it is male.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How far do our feelings take their colour from the dive underground? I mean, what is the reality of any feeling?
Virginia Woolf

I often wish I'd got on better with your father,' he said.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall
Virginia Woolf
