“ Look here Vita — throw over your man, and we’ll go to Hampton Court and dine on the river together and walk in the garden in the moonlight and come home late and have a bottle of wine and get tipsy, and I’ll tell you all the things I have in my head, millions, myriads — They won’t stir by day, only by dark on the river. Think of that. Throw over your man, I say, and come. ”
— Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Vita Sackville-West (via brainpickings)

“ It’s hard leaving money on the table, especially if you don’t know where your next project is coming from. It takes character to turn down a big project from a respected brand, even when you know it’s the right thing to do. However it’s usually worth it. The number of times I’ve seen agencies take on a mediocre project only to have to turn down their perfect client a week later because they are already committed is astonishing. Turning down a project which is under budget closes one door, but you’ve no idea how many other doors this will open in the future. ”

“ Un jour, j’avais sept ans, mon grand-père n’y tint plus : il me prit par la main, annonçant qu’il m’emmenait en promenade. Mais, à peine avions-nous tourné le coin de la rue, il me poussa chez le coiffeur en me disant : »Nous allons faire une surprise à ta mère ». J’adorais les surprises. Il y en avait tout le temps chez nous. Cachotteries amusées ou vertueuses, cadeaux inattendus, révélations théâtrales suivies d’embrassements : c’était le ton de notre vie. ”
— Les mots, Jean-Paul Sartre, 1964. (via beauvoiriana)
