Vita Sackville-West Quote

The true solitary... will feel that he is himself only when he is alone; when he is in company he will feel that he perjures himself, prostitutes himself to the exactions of others; he will feel that time spent in company is time lost; he will be conscious only of his impatience to get back to his true life.


Passenger to Teheran (1926)


The true solitary... will feel that he is himself only when he is alone; when he is in company he will feel that he perjures himself, prostitutes...

The true solitary... will feel that he is himself only when he is alone; when he is in company he will feel that he perjures himself, prostitutes...

The true solitary... will feel that he is himself only when he is alone; when he is in company he will feel that he perjures himself, prostitutes...

The true solitary... will feel that he is himself only when he is alone; when he is in company he will feel that he perjures himself, prostitutes...
