"[W]hen you're my age you'll see that the world is crammed with delightful things. I think young people make such a mistake about that -- not letting themselves be happy. I sometimes think that happiness is the only thing that counts. I don't know you well enough to say, but I should guess you might be a little inclined to -- when one's young and attractive -- I'm going to say it! -- everything's at one's feet."
~Virignia Woolf, The Voyage Out (1915)

"All articulate thought had long ago deserted her; her heart seemed to have grown to the size of a sun, and to illuminate her entire body, shedding like the sun a steady tide of warmth."
