Virginia Woolf
A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
Virginia Woolf
But how entirely I live in my imagination how completely depend upon spurts of thought, coming as I walk, as I sit things churning up in my mind and so making a perpetual pageant, which is to be my happiness.
Virginia Woolf
I want to write a novel about Silence, he said “the things people don’t say.
Virginia Woolf
