Virginia Woolf
Image
My mind turned by anxiety, or other cause, from its scrutiny of blank paper, is like a lost child–wandering the house, sitting on the bottom step to cry.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The real novelist, the perfectly simple human being, could go on, indefinitely imaging.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The mind must be allowed to settle undisturbed over the object in order to secrete the pearl.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.
Virginia Woolf
Image
After all, what is a lovely phrase? One that has mopped up as much Truth as it can hold.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The way to write well is to live intensely.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall
