Virginia Woolf
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Virginia Woolf
I have lost friends, some by death...others by sheer inability to cross the street.
Virginia Woolf
The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
Virginia Woolf
