Virginia Woolf
One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with one's words.
Virginia Woolf
What a lark! What a plunge!
Virginia Woolf
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
I ransack public libraries & find them full of sunk treasure.
Virginia Woolf
Truth had run through my fingers. Every drop had escaped.
Virginia Woolf
Somewhere, everywhere, now hidden, now apparent in what ever is written down, is the form of a human being. If we seek to know him, are we idly occupied?
Virginia Woolf
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
Virginia Woolf
