A Moment's Liberty Quotes

“I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Moment's Liberty: The Shorter Diary

“How could one leap on the back of life and wring its scruff?”
― Virginia Woolf, A Moment's Liberty: The Shorter Diary

“This fiddling and drifting and not impressing oneself upon anything – this always refraining and fingering and cutting things up into little jokes and facetiousness – that's what's so annihilating. Yet given little money, little looks, no special gift – what can one do? How could one battle? How could one leap on the back of life and wring its scruff?”
― Virginia Woolf, A Moment's Liberty: The Shorter Diary
