More Quotes from Virginia Woolf:
For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world. Both houses will be ruined, the public and the private, the material and the spiritual, for they are inseparably connected.Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in.

Virginia Woolf
The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind.
Virginia Woolf
