Virginia Woolf Quotes

"I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me""One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well""Arrange whatever pieces come your way""The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages""You cannot find peace by avoiding life""No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself""A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction""It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality""I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman""Nothing has really happened until it has been described""The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity""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.""If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.""When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don’t seem to matter very much, do they?"
