Virginia Woolf
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Who would not spout the family teapot in order to talk with Keats for an hour about poetry, or with Jane Austen about the art of fiction?

Illusions are to the soul what atmosphere is to the earth.
Virginia Woolf
Fatigue is the safest sleeping draught.
Virginia Woolf
