Virginia Woolf

It’s not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it’s the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

Virginia Woolf

Language is wine upon the lips.

Virginia Woolf

Let us not take for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small.

Virginia Woolf

Life piles up so fast that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections.

Virginia Woolf

Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.

Virginia Woolf

My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.

Virginia Woolf

My mind works in idleness. To do nothing is often my most profitable way.

Virginia Woolf

Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure.

Virginia Woolf

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

Virginia Woolf

Nothing thicker than a knife’s blade separates happiness from melancholy.

Virginia Woolf
