"I am overwhelmed with things I ought..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing.”

“I ride rough waters, and shall sink with no one to save me.”

“I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”

“The art of art, the glory of expression, is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity, and the sunlight of letters is simplicity. Nothing is better than simplicity-nothing can make up for excess, or for the lack of definiteness.”

“Journalism has not only its social stimulations but its aesthetic virtues. An invitation into print, from however suspect a source, is an opportunity to make something beautiful, to discover within oneself a treasure that would otherwise have remained buried.”

“Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.”

“There is nothing more frustrating than a good example.”

“Every day, a little sadder, a little madder. Will someone get me a ladder?”

“You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar, and though I asked most distinctly for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition, and the extraordinary sweetness of my nature, but I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far.”
