All extremes are dangerous.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Lord, how tired one gets of one's own writing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Surely it was time someone invented a new plot, or that the author came out from the bushes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The mind is the most capricious of insects — flitting, fluttering.
Virginia Woolf

One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
Virginia Woolf

One must learn to be silent just as one must learn to talk.
