Complete Independence

Famous quotes containing the words complete and/or independence:

“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“A tragic irony of life is that we so often achieve success or financial independence after the chief reason for which we sought it has passed away.”
