Virginia Woolf
Language is wine upon the lips.

Virginia Woolf
Lock up your libraries if you like but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?
Virginia Woolf
I am reading Henry James...and feel myself as one entombed in a block of smooth amber.
Virginia Woolf
Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment.
Virginia Woolf
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
To make ideas effective, we must be able to fire them off. We must put them into action.
Virginia Woolf
The truer the facts the better the fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Thus Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Joyce partly spoil their books for women readers by their display of self-conscious virility and Mr. Hemingway, but much less violently, follows suit.
Virginia Woolf
O why do I ever let anyone read what I write! Every time I have to go through a breakfast with a letter of criticism I swear I will write for my own praise or blame in future. It is a misery.
Virginia Woolf
