Virginia Woolf
Fear no more, says the heart.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Use words that soak up life.
Virginia Woolf
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
But it is just when opinions universally prevail and we have added lip service to their authority that we become sometimes most keenly conscious that we do not believe a word that we are saying.
Virginia Woolf
I like to have space to spread my mind out in.
Virginia Woolf
But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.
Virginia Woolf
It was the intimacy, a sort of spiritual suppleness, when mind prints upon mind indelibly.
Virginia Woolf
Thoughts without words… Can that be?
Virginia Woolf
writing is the profound pleasure and being read the superficial.
Virginia Woolf
The mind is the most capricious of insects — flitting, fluttering.
Virginia Woolf
