Are we so made that we have to take death in small doses daily or we could not go on with the business of living?
Virginia Woolf
Image
For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I was always going to the bookcase for another sip of the divine specific.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A sort of transaction went on between them, in which she was on one side, and life was on another, and she was always trying to get the better of it, as it was of her.
