Image
London perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play and a story and a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets... To walk alone through London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Dance music ... stirs some barbaric instinct - lulled asleep in our sober lives - you forget centuries of civilization in a second, & yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Thoughts without words… Can that be?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Safe! safe! safe!' the pulse of the house beats wildly. Waking, I cry 'Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel that by writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Only longing can fill with more of itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Image
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I must try to set aside half an hour in some part of my day, and consecrate it to diary writing. Give it a name and a place, and then perhaps, such is the human mind, I shall come to think it a duty, and disregard other duties for it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I will dream today for I must unscrew my head somehow.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost. Life would split asunder without them. 'Come to tea, come to dinner, what's the truth of the story? have you heard the news? life in the capital is wonderful the Russian dancers....' These are our stays and props. These lace our days together and make of life a perfect globe.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There'll be oceans of talk and emotions without end.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

Soup is cuisines kindest course

Habits and customs are a convenience devised for the support of timid natures who dare not allow their souls free play.
