Virginia Woolf
What a lark! What a plunge!
Virginia Woolf
People only become writers if they can't find the one book they've always wanted to read.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.
Virginia Woolf
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.
Virginia Woolf
There are moments when one can neither think nor feel, she thought, and if one can neithre feel nor think, where's one?
Virginia Woolf
Fatigue is the safest sleeping draught.
Virginia Woolf
Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night.
Virginia Woolf
To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.
Virginia Woolf
