Virginia Woolf
Image
They all dreamt of each other that night, as was natural, considering how thin the partitions were between them, and how strangely they had been lifted off the earth to sit next each other in mid-ocean, and see every detail of each others' faces, and hear whatever they chanced to say.
Virginia Woolf

Nothing, I know, had any chance against death.
Virginia Woolf
Image

He smiled the most exquisite smile, veiled by memory, tinged by dreams.
Virginia Woolf

I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists the reality of everything.
Virginia Woolf
