“If you are losing your leisure, look out! -- It may be you are losing your soul.”
― Virginia Woolf

“She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone.”
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

“And that is the time to read poetry . . . when we are almost able to write it.”
― Virginia Woolf, How Should One Read a Book?

“You look, eat, smile, are bored, pleased, annoyed - that is all I know. Yet this shadow which has sat by me for an hour or two, this mask from which peep two eyes, has power to drive me back, to pinion me down among all those other faces, to shut me in a hot room; to send me dashing like a moth from candle to candle.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves
