Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Travelers are much at the mercy of phrases ... vast generalizations formulate in their exposed brains.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... the public and the private worlds are inseparably connected ... the tyrannies and servilities of the one are the tyrannies and servilities of the other.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If woman had no existence save in the fiction written by men, one would imagine her a person of utmost importance very various heroic and mean splendid and sordid infinitely beautiful and hideous in the extreme as great as a man some think even greater.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall
Virginia Woolf
Image
Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel all shadows of the universe multiplied deep inside my skin.
