Virginia Woolf

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For love... has two faces one white, the other black two bodies one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why does one write these books after all? The drudgery, the misery, the grind, are forgotten everytime and one launches another, and it seems sheer joy and buoyancy.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Anything may happen when womanhood has ceased to be a protected occupation.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf
