They say the sky is the same everywhere. Travellers, the shipwrecked, exiles, and the dying draw comfort from the thought.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Love and religion! thought Clarissa, going back into the drawing room, tingling all over. How detestable, how detestable they are!
Virginia Woolf
Image
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes
