Virginia Woolf

Women and fiction remain, so far as I am concerned, unsolved problems.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... if we can imagine the art of fiction come alive and standing in our midst, she would undoubtedly bid us to break her and bullyher, as well as honour and love her, for so her youth is renewed and her sovereignty assured.

what she loved: life, London, this moment of june.
Virginia Woolf

Ransack the language as he might, words failed him. He wanted another landscape, and another tongue.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was odd, she thought, how if one was alone, one leant to inanimate things trees, streams, flowers felt they expressed one felt they became one felt they knew one, in a sense were one felt an irrational tenderness thus (she looked at that long steady light) as for oneself.
Virginia Woolf

I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists the reality of everything.
