More quotes by Vita Sackville-West
I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. Oh my dear, I can’t be clever and stand-offish with you: I love you too much for that. Too truly.You have no idea how stand-offish I can be with people I don’t love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defences. And I don’t really resent it.
Vita Sackville-West

Vita Sackville-West
I cannot abide the Mr. and Mrs. Noah attitude towards marriage the animals went in two by two, forever stuck together with glue.

One must be businesslike, although the glass is falling.
Vita Sackville-West
a letter, by its arrival, defrauds us of a whole secret region of our existence, the only region indeed in which the true pleasure of life may be tasted, the region of imagination, creative and protean, the clouds and beautiful shapes of whose heaven are destroyed by the wind of reality.
Vita Sackville-West
Forget not bees in winter, though they sleep.
Vita Sackville-West
A flowerless room is a soulless room, to my way of thinking but even a solitary little vase of a living flower may redeem it.
Vita Sackville-West
Summer makes a silence after spring.
Vita Sackville-West
It is dreadful how I miss you, and everything that everybody says seems flat and stupid.
Vita Sackville-West
Things were not tragic for us then, because although we cared passionately we didn't care deeply.
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
Travel is a private pleasure, since it consists entirely of things felt and things seen.
Vita Sackville-West
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Vita Sackville-West
All craftsmen share a knowledge. They have heldReality down fluttering to a bench.
Vita Sackville-West
A good start in life is as important to plants as it is to children: they must develop strong roots in a congenial soil, otherwise they will never make the growth that will serve them richly according to their needs in their adult life.
Vita Sackville-West
Tools have their own integrity.
