Virginia Woolf
I will go down with my colours flying.
Virginia Woolf
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
We shall be the mouthpieces of the divine spirit—
Virginia Woolf
They came to her, naturally, since she was a woman, all day long with this and that one wanting this, another that the children were growing up she often felt she was nothing but a sponge sopped full of human emotions.
Virginia Woolf
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
War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
For beyond the difficulty of communicating oneself, there is the supreme difficulty of being oneself.
Virginia Woolf
