Additional quotes by Virginia Woolf

It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.

The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.

I feel a thousand capacities spring up in me. I am arch, gay, languid, melancholy by turns. I am rooted, but I flow. - Virginia Woolf
