Virginia Woolf
For there is a virtue in truth it has an almost mystic power. Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light.
Virginia Woolf
But nevertheless, the fact remained, it was almost impossible to dislike anyone if one looked at them.
Virginia Woolf
Disastrous would have been the result if a fire or a death had suddenly demanded something heroic of human nature, but tragedies come in the hungry hours.
Virginia Woolf
War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
I got out this diary, & read as one always does read one's own writing, with a kind of guilty intensity.
Virginia Woolf
It was a silly, silly dream, being unhappy.
Virginia Woolf
