Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Virginia Woolf
When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook—a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.
Virginia Woolf
War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
I am tied down with single words. But you wander off you slip away you rise up higher, with words and words in phrases.
Virginia Woolf
I often wish I'd got on better with your father,' he said.
Virginia Woolf
The mind must be allowed to settle undisturbed over the object in order to secrete the pearl.
Virginia Woolf
It doesn't have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down.
Virginia Woolf
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf
