More quotes by Vita Sackville-West
Travel is in sad case. It is uncomfortable, it is expensive it is a source of annoyance to our friends, and of loneliness to ourselves.
Vita Sackville-West
Forget not bees in winter, though they sleep.
Vita Sackville-West
The farmer and the gardener are both busy, the gardener perhaps the more excitable of the two, for he is more of the amateur, concerned with the creation of beauty rather than with the providing of food. Gardening is a luxury occupation an ornament, not a necessity, of life.
Vita Sackville-West
Tools have their own integrity.
Vita Sackville-West
There are no signposts in the sea.
Vita Sackville-West
The writer catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind.
Vita Sackville-West
There is nothing more lovely in life than the union of two people whose love for one another has grown through the years, from the small acorn of passion, into a great rooted tree
Vita Sackville-West
I suppose the pleasure of the country life lies really in the eternally renewed evidences of the determination to live. That is a truism when said, but anything but a truism when daily observed. Nothing shows up the difference between the thing said or read, so much as the daily experience of it.
Vita Sackville-West
I worshipped dead men for their strength, Forgetting I was strong.
Vita Sackville-West
Flowers really do intoxicate me.
Vita Sackville-West
Click, clack, click, clack, went their conversation, like so many knitting-needles, purl, plain, purl, plain, achieving a complex pattern of references, cross-references, Christian names, nicknames, and fleeting allusions.
Vita Sackville-West
Still, no gardener would be a gardener if he did not live in hope.
Vita Sackville-West
Summer makes a silence after spring.
Vita Sackville-West
The Saluki is a marvel of elegance.
Vita Sackville-West
Not seeing is half-believing.
Vita Sackville-West
My garden all is overblown with roses,/ My spirit all is overblown with rhyme.
Vita Sackville-West
Growth is exciting growth is dynamic and alarming.
Vita Sackville-West
Of course I should love to throw a toothbrush into a bag, and just go, quite vaguely, without any plans or even a real destination. It is the Wanderlust.
Vita Sackville-West
Successful gardening is not necessarily a question of wealth, it is a question of love, taste, and knowledge.
Vita Sackville-West
Serenity of spirit and turbulence of action should make up the sum of a man's life.
Vita Sackville-West
