Vita Sackville-West
Growth is exciting growth is dynamic and alarming.
Vita Sackville-West
I cannot bear that you / Should think me faithful, when I am untrue.
Vita Sackville-West
It is dreadful how I miss you, and everything that everybody says seems flat and stupid.
Vita Sackville-West
One must be businesslike, although the glass is falling.
Vita Sackville-West
The more one gardens, the more one learns And the more one learns, the more one realizes how little one knows.
