Woolf

Famous quotes containing the word woolf:

    Men felt a chill in their hearts; a damp in their minds. In a desperate effort to snuggle their feelings into some sort of warmth, one subterfuge was tried after another ... sentences swelled, adjectives multiplied, lyrics became epics.
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again—as I always am when I write.
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    What I like, or one of the things I like, about motoring is the sense it gives one of lighting accidentally, like a voyager who touches another planet with the tip of his toe, upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Then it seems to me I am allowed to see the heart of the world uncovered for a moment.
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
