Virginia Woolf
Image
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
Image

We live in constant danger of coming apart. The mystery of why we do not always come apart is the animating tension of all art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.
