Death 28 March 1941 “Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do...”

Famous Quotes "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." “As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.” “Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works. “Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.”
