Virginia Woolf
One must learn to be silent just as one must learn to talk.

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
It is impossible for human beings, constituted as they are, both to fight and to have ideals.
Virginia Woolf
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing shakes my opinion of a book. Nothing -- nothing. Only perhaps if it's the book of a young person -- or of a friend -- no, even so, I think myself infallible.
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
. . . to walk alone in London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
