Virginia Woolf
Image
The cold stream of visual impressions failed him now as if the eye were a cup that overflowed and let the rest run down its china walls unrecorded.

Virginia Woolf
Image
The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel certain that I'm going mad again, I feel we can't go thru another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices
Virginia Woolf
Image
As an experience, madness is terrific ... and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing shakes my opinion of a book. Nothing -- nothing. Only perhaps if it's the book of a young person -- or of a friend -- no, even so, I think myself infallible.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She thought there were no Gods no one was to blame and so she evolved this atheist's religion of doing good for the sake of goodness.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is something I want-something I have come to get, and she fell deeper and deeper without knowing quite what it was, with her eyes closed.
