I say “I will cut adrift -- I will sit on pavements and drink coffee, I will see the Southern hills; I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim.” I say all this; with energy; but shall I do it? Shan’t I peter out here, till the fountain fills again? I need solitude. I need space. I need air. I need the empty fields round me and my legs pounding along roads; and sleep.

Quote from The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf in Popular Culture - Quote published by 6 months ago ()

I sincerely hope I’ll never fathom you. You’re mystical, serene, intriguing; you enclose such charm within you. The lustre of your presence bewitches me.

I should be driven desperate if I knew who I was. I meet somebody who says “you’re this or that”, and I feel like I don’t want to be anything.
