Additional quotes by Virginia Woolf

I am amused at my relations with her: left so ardent in January – and now what? Also I like her presence and her beauty. Am I in love with her? But what is love? Her being 'in love' with me, excites and flatters; and interests. What is this 'love'?

The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.

I have lost friends, some by death...others by sheer inability to cross the street.
