Have you read The Sea, The Sea? Really interesting book. I love Iris Murdoch’s oddness.

But Anna was not to be won over. She had a curious shrinking from commonplace people, and particularly from the young lady of her day. She would not go into company because of the ill-at-ease feeling other people brought upon her. And she never could decide whether it were her fault or theirs. She half respected these other people, and continuous disillusion maddened her. She wanted to respect...

I was reading through the letters of Vanessa Bell the other day and found something interesting.
Madge Vaughan had married a cousin of the Stephens in 1898 and was therefore an old acquaintance of both Vanessa and Virginia (cf 2nd part of this post).
In 1920, Madge V. had meant to rent Charleston, Vanessa’s house, while she was away on a holiday. However, she’d apparently been taken...

Sabina thought she should return to New York and forget him, but his eager face and the distress in his eyes made this act seem one of desertion.
At other moments the pleasure he had given her ignited her body like flowing warm mercury darting through the veins. The memory of it flowed through the waves when she swam, and the waves seemed like his hands, or the form of his body in her hands.

I’ve come to realize that half of what my brain comes up with is absolute nonsense which ultimately makes me unhappy. But - i’ve only just understood that I can tell my brain to shut up. Insecurity, jealousy, whatever. Trying to willingly move away from that. Like a kind of positive self-consciousness. Basically, I don’t have to listen to it. It seems like a very naive thing to...

By wishing to be where it was more marvelous she made the near, the palpable seem like obstruction, a delay to the more luminous life awaiting her, the incandescent personages kept waiting.

Well, the self-indulgence of writing songs and then performing them and recording them means that you’re taking people with you in your own sort of understanding of your life. I hope I’m in control of my mind, therefore I know what I’m writing. But I’m not in control of what’s going on in my life, so whatever needs to be written about is written about and that...
