"The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages." ―Virginia Woolf "Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book, known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title." —Virginia Woolf "[T]hey had heaps of theories, always theories, as young people have. It was to explain the feeling they had of dissatisfaction; not knowing people; not being known. For how could they know each other? You met every day; then not for six months, or years. It was unsatisfactory, they agreed, how little one knew people. [...] So that to know her, or any one, one must seek out the people who completed them." —Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway "That was the strange thing, that one did not know where one was going, or what one wanted, and followed blindly, suffering so much in secret, always unprepared and amazed and knowing nothing; but one thing led to another and by degrees something had formed itself out of nothing, and so one reached at last this calm, this quiet, this certainty, and it was this process that people called living." —Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out "It's not cowardly to wish to live. It's the very reverse of cowardly. Personally, I'd like to go on for a hundred years [...] Think of all the things that are bound to happen!" —Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out "There must be another life, she thought, sinking back into her chair, exasperated. Not in dreams; but here and now, in this room, with living people. She felt as if she were standing on the edge of a precipice with her hair blown back; she was about to grasp something that just evaded her. There must be another life, here and now, she repeated. This is too short, too broken. We know nothing, even about ourselves." —Virginia Woolf, The Years You can tell I'm part of the Woolf Pack.
