I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls. We all have, doubtless, but I like the suffering soul which confesses itself. I distrust this hard, this shiny, this enameled content.
– Virginia Woolf, in a 1926 letter. (via thebloomsburygroup)
Happy is what you realize you are a fraction of a second before it’s too late.
– ali smith
I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted
To lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.
How free it is, you have no idea how free ——
To lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.
How free it is, you have no idea how free ——
– from Tulips, Sylvia Plath
‘she felt somehow very like him—the young man who had killed himself. she felt glad that he had done it; thrown it away. the clock was striking. the leaden circles dissolved in the air. he made her feel the beauty; made her feel the fun. but she must go back. She must assemble.’
- Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf
