More quotes by Vita Sackville-West
The Saluki is a marvel of elegance.
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
Prose is a poor thing, a poor inadequate thing, compared with poetry which says so much more in shorter time.
Vita Sackville-West
Travel is a private pleasure, since it consists entirely of things felt and things seen.
Vita Sackville-West
It is no good my telling you. One never believes other people's experiencem and one is only very gradually convinced by one's own.
Vita Sackville-West
Things were not tragic for us then, because although we cared passionately we didn't care deeply.
Vita Sackville-West
A man and his tools make a man and his trade.
Vita Sackville-West
It isn't that I don't like sweet disorder, but it has to be judiciously arranged.
Vita Sackville-West
Ambition, old as mankind, the immemorial weakness of the strong.
Vita Sackville-West
I worshipped dead men for their strength, Forgetting I was strong.
Vita Sackville-West
The wise traveler is he who is perpetually surprised.
Vita Sackville-West
For a young man to start his career with a love affair with an older woman was quite de rigueur ... Of course, it must not go on for too long. An apprenticeship was a very different thing from a career.
Vita Sackville-West
however many resolutions one makes, one's pen, like water, always finds its own level, and one can't write in any way other than one's own.
Vita Sackville-West
April, the angel of the months, the young love of the year.
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 miss you even more than I could have believed and I was prepared to miss you a good deal.
Vita Sackville-West
It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten the mood is gone life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop.
Vita Sackville-West
It is dreadful how I miss you, and everything that everybody says seems flat and stupid.
Vita Sackville-West
Everywhere bees go racing with the hours, / For every bee becomes a drunken lover, / Standing upon his head to sup the flowers.
Vita Sackville-West
I cannot bear that you / Should think me faithful, when I am untrue.
Vita Sackville-West
