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
All craftsmen share a knowledge. They have heldReality down fluttering to a bench.
Vita Sackville-West
There are no signposts in the sea.
Vita Sackville-West
