Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
In illness words seem to possess a mystic quality.
Virginia Woolf
Travelers are much at the mercy of phrases ... vast generalizations formulate in their exposed brains.
Virginia Woolf
The profound difference that divides the human race is a question of bait - whether to fish with worms or not.
Virginia Woolf
All artists need a room of their own
Virginia Woolf
Women have sat indoors all these millions of years, so that by this time the very walls are permeated by their creative force, which has, indeed, so overcharged the capacity of bricks and mortar that it must needs harness itself to pens and brushes and business and politics.
Virginia Woolf
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia Woolf
