What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Does housekeeping interest you at all? I think it really ought to be just as good as writing and I never see where the separation between the too comes in. At least if you must put books on one side and life on the other, each is a poor and bloodless thing but my theory is that they mix indistinguishable.

The real novelist, the perfectly simple human being, could go on, indefinitely imaging.
Virginia Woolf

After that, how unbelievable death was! - that is must end and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all.
