  Virginia Woolf, Joanne Trautmann Banks (1977). “A change of perspective”, Vintage

• No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high.
