Virginia Woolf

A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. Virginia Woolf
Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works. Virginia Woolf
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman. Virginia Woolf
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past. Virginia Woolf
If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully? Virginia Woolf
Language is wine upon the lips. Virginia Woolf
Things have dropped from me. I have outlived certain desires; I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street. Virginia Woolf
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say. Virginia Woolf
You cannot find peace by avoiding life. Virginia Woolf
