From the diary of Virginia Woolf
NEED to read the sun and the fish by virignia woolf before the eclipse on wednesday
Is that Lady Bruton actually Sybil coded or do I have too much of a Discworld brainrot?
Also, a book by Virginia Woolf is the last place I would expect to find the sentence "She would have been a general of dragons herself"!
(That's Mrs Dalloway, by the way)
''Yaşamak neden böyle içler acısı, neden bir uçurumun yanıbaşından geçen daracık bir yol gibi..''
«Poteva essere se stessa, starsene per conto suo. Ed era proprio questa la cosa di cui in quel periodo sentiva spesso il bisogno: pensare, o meglio, neppure pensare. Starsene in silenzio; starsene da sola. Tutto l’essere e il fare, espansivi, luccicanti, vocali, svanivano; e ci si ripiegava, con un senso di solennità, a essere se stessi, un nucleo cuneiforme di oscurità, qualcosa di invisibile agli altri. Sebbene continuasse a lavorare a maglia e a star seduta dritta, era così che si sentiva; e questo suo io, essendosi liberato da ogni legame, era libero di compiere le più strane avventure. Quando la vita si inabissava per un attimo, il campo delle esperienze sembrava illimitato... le apparenze, le cose per le quali gli altri ci riconoscono, sono semplicemente puerili» (Virginia Woolf)
... the task of estimating the lenght of human life is beyond our capacity, for directly we say that it is ages long we are reminded that it is briefer than the fall of a rose leaf to the ground.
-Virginia Woolf, Orlando
my sister-in-law texts me to recommend the book she's just finished
it's Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own
obviously I've already read it so the recommendation itself will not change the course of my life
but it pleases me to know that the person who's married to my brother, and who's raising my niece and nephew, is reading feminist classics
brings me peace
Isolation and connection. ⛵️
