Virginia Woolf
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Men felt a chill in their hearts a damp in their minds. In a desperate effort to snuggle their feelings into some sort of warmth,one subterfuge was tried after anothersentences swelled, adjectives multiplied, lyrics became epics.
Virginia Woolf
A feminist is any woman who tells the truth about her life
Virginia Woolf
Never did anybody look so sad. Bitter and black, halfway down, in the darkness, in the shaft which ran from the sunlight to the depths, perhaps a tear formed a tear fell the waves swayed this way and that, received it, and were at rest. Never did anybody look so sad.
Virginia Woolf
We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
But nevertheless, the fact remained, it was almost impossible to dislike anyone if one looked at them.
Virginia Woolf
Love had a thousand shapes.
Virginia Woolf
