More Quotes by Virginia Woolf
In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.

For nothing matters except life.
A light here required a shadow there.
I am rooted, but I flow.
To make ideas effective, we must be able to fire them off. We must put them into action.
