The world wavered and quivered and threatened to burst into flames.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel my brains, like a pear, to see if it's ripe it will be exquisite by September.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know ... I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.
