Virginia Woolf
Love had a thousand shapes.
Virginia Woolf
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf
Life piles up so fast that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections.
Virginia Woolf
Intellectual freedom depends upon material things.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Virginia Woolf
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
When I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me I am in darkness—I am nothing.
Virginia Woolf
Ransack the language as he might, words failed him. He wanted another landscape, and another tongue.
Virginia Woolf
How can I express the darkness?
Virginia Woolf
At one and the same time, therefore, society is everything and society is nothing. Society is the most powerful concoction in the world and society has no existence whatsoever
Virginia Woolf
