If there was chicken, she took the led; if there was a draft she sat in it-- in short she was so constituted that she never had a mind or wish of her own, but preferred to sympathize always with the minds and wishes of others... I did my best to kill her. My excuse, if I were to be had up in a court of law, would be that I acted... Virginia Woolf

All great writers have, of course, an atmosphere in which they seem most at their ease and at their best; a mood of the general mind which they interpret and indeed almost discover, so that we come to read them rather for that than for any story or character or scene of seperate excellence. Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf quote: "If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most..."
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us? Virginia Woolf
We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods. Virginia Woolf
Such she often felt herself--struggling against terrific odds to maintain her courage; to say: "But this is what I see; this is what I see," and so to clasp some miserable remnant of her vision to her breast, which a thousand forces did their best to pluck from her. Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf quote: "Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the best prose is that..."
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the best prose is that which is most full of poetry. Virginia Woolf
