I will go down with my colours flying.
Virginia Woolf
The proper stuff of fiction' does not exist everything is the proper stuff of fiction, every feeling, every thought every quality of brain and spirit is drawn upon no perception comes amiss.
Virginia Woolf
The intellect, divine as it is, and all worshipful, has a habit of lodging in the most seedy of carcasses, and often, alas, acts the cannibal among the other faculties so that often, where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.
Virginia Woolf
And you wish to be a poet and you wish to be a lover.
Virginia Woolf
But beauty must be broken daily to remain beautiful.
Virginia Woolf
Fear no more, says the heart.

Virginia Woolf
Like a ghostly roll of drums remorselessly beat the measure of life.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
A million candles burnt in him without his being at the trouble of lighting a single one
Virginia Woolf
The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
and even a tea party means apprehension, breakage
Virginia Woolf
Incessant company is as bad as solitary confinement.
Virginia Woolf
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre
Virginia Woolf
I have a feeling I shall go mad. I cannot go on longer in these terrible times. I shan't recover this time. I hear voices and cannot concentrate on my work. I have fought against it but cannot fight any longer.
Virginia Woolf
O how blessed it would be never to marry, or grow old but to spend one's life innocently and indifferently among the trees and rivers which alone can keep one cool and childlike in the midst of the troubles of the world!
Virginia Woolf
You can't think how I depend on you, and when you're not there the colour goes out of my life.
Virginia Woolf
