115 Quotes About Virginia-woolf

You look, eat, smile, are bored, pleased, annoyed - that is all I know.

Let us simmer over our incalculable cauldron, our enthralling confusion, our hotchpotch of impulses, our perpetual miracle - for the soul throws up wonders every second. Movement and change are the essence of our being; rigidity is death; conformity is death; let us say what comes into our heads, repeat ourselves, contradict ourselves, fling out the wildest nonsense, and follow the most fantastic fancies without caring what the world does or thinks or says. For nothing matters except life.

Meanwhile, let us abolish the ticking of time’s clock with one blow. Come closer.
