Vita Sackville-West
For bees are captious folk / And quick to turn against the lubber's touch.
Vita Sackville-West
A man and his tools make a man and his trade.
Vita Sackville-West
There are no signposts in the sea.
Vita Sackville-West
There's no beginning to the farmer's year, / Only recurrent patterns on a scroll / Unwinding...
Vita Sackville-West
Is it better to be extremely ambitious, or rather modest? Probably the latter is safer but I hate safety, and would rather fail gloriously than dingily succeed.
Vita Sackville-West
how poor and disheartening a thing is experience compared with hope!
