Virginia Woolf
Nothing, however, can be more arrogant, though nothing is commoner than to assume that of Gods there is only one, and of religions none but the speaker’s.
Virginia Woolf
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Indeed there has never been any explanation of the ebb and flow in our veins--of happiness and unhappiness.
Virginia Woolf
There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them.
Virginia Woolf
War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
And yet, the only exciting life is the imaginary one.
Virginia Woolf
Of the rest some we know to be dead though they walk among us some are not yet born though they go through the forms of life others are hundreds of years old though they call themselves thirty-six.
Virginia Woolf
