Virginia Woolf

I see through most people I'm hardly ever wrong. I see at once what they've got in them.
Virginia Woolf

I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf

It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But Sasha who after all had no English blood in her but was from Russia where the sunsets are longer, the dawns less sudden, and sentences often left unfinished from doubt as to how best to end them.
