Virginia Woolf
Romantic Love is only an Illusion. A story one makes up in One's Mind about Another Person.
Virginia Woolf
Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
Virginia Woolf
There was no treachery too base for the world to commit.
Virginia Woolf
To stand in a great bookshop crammed with books so new that their pages almost stick together, and the gilt on their backs is still fresh, has an excitement no less delightful than the old excitement of the second-hand bookstall.
Virginia Woolf
I often wish I'd got on better with your father,' he said.
Virginia Woolf
But the close withdrew: the hand softened. It was over-- the moment.
Virginia Woolf
They came to her, naturally, since she was a woman, all day long with this and that one wanting this, another that the children were growing up she often felt she was nothing but a sponge sopped full of human emotions.
Virginia Woolf
