Vita Sackville-West
The more one gardens, the more one learns And the more one learns, the more one realizes how little one knows.
Vita Sackville-West

Vita Sackville-West
It is dreadful how I miss you, and everything that everybody says seems flat and stupid.
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
Successful gardening is not necessarily a question of wealth, it is a question of love, taste, and knowledge.
Vita Sackville-West
Forget not bees in winter, though they sleep.
Vita Sackville-West
Women, like men, ought to have their years so glutted with freedom that they hate the very idea of freedom.
Vita Sackville-West
I do not like January very much. It is too stationary. Not enough happens. I like the evidences of life, and in January there are too few of them.
Vita Sackville-West

Vita Sackville-West
