More From Virginia Woolf
- "Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth."
- "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."
- "Masterpieces are not single and solitary births; they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice."
