Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Jealousy ... survives every other passion of mankind.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing, however, can be more arrogant, though nothing is commoner than to assume that of Gods there is only one, and of religions none but the speaker’s.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
He smiled the most exquisite smile, veiled by memory, tinged by dreams.
Virginia Woolf
To know whom to write for is to know how to write.
Virginia Woolf
The profound difference that divides the human race is a question of bait - whether to fish with worms or not.
Virginia Woolf
Just in case you ever foolishly forget I'm never not thinking of you
Virginia Woolf
One must love everything.
Virginia Woolf
Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.
Virginia Woolf
I press to my centre, and find there is something there.
Virginia Woolf
Tragedies come in the hungry hours.
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
