Virginia Woolf
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?
Virginia Woolf
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
We insist, it seems, on living.
Virginia Woolf
A light here required a shadow there.
Virginia Woolf
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf
I will dream today for I must unscrew my head somehow.
Virginia Woolf
