Paradox

A quote on happiness from Virginia Woolf (who committed suicide by drowning herself in the river).

“Happiness is to have a little string onto which things will attach themselves. For example, going to my dressmaker in Judd Street, or rather thinking of a dress I could get her to make, & imagining it made—that is the string, which as if it dipped loosely into a wave of treasure brings up pearls sticking to it. And my days are likely to be strung with them.”
Virginia Woolf, Diary, April, 20 1925
