More quotes by Leonard Woolf
The grinding of the intellect is for most people as painful as a dentists drill.
Leonard Woolf
Life is not an orderly progression, self-contained like a musical scale or a quadratic equation... If one is to record one's life truthfully, one must aim at getting into the record of it something of the disorderly discontinuity which makes it so absurd, unpredictable, bearable.
Leonard Woolf
There is nothing to which men cling more tenaciously than the privileges of class.
Leonard Woolf
Leonard Woolf in a letter to Lytton Strachey said he hated John Maynard Keynes for his crass stupidity and hideous face.
