Quote

Communication is truth communication is happiness. To share is our duty to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased to conceal nothing to pretend nothing if we are ignorant to say so if we love our friends to let them know it.

Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For once the disease of reading has laid upon the system it weakens so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We live in constant danger of coming apart. The mystery of why we do not always come apart is the animating tension of all art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?
Virginia Woolf
Image
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What a lark! What a plunge!
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is a sadness at the back of life which some people do not attempt to mitigate. Entirely aware of their own standing in the shadow, and yet alive to every tremor and gleam of existence, there they endure.
Virginia Woolf
