"Death is woven in with the violets,”..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“old emotions like old families have intermarried and have many connections.”

“What has praise and fame to do with poetry? Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice? So that all this chatter and praise, and blame and meeting people who admired one and meeting people who did not admire one was as ill suited as could be to the thing itself- a voice answering a voice.”

“One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.”

“If you don't know how to live, why wonder about death?”

“Tired with all these, for restful death I cry.”

“Death is dreadful to the man whose all is extinguished with his life; but not to him whose glory never can die.”

“We say the cows laid out Boston. Well, there are worse surveyors.”

“The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow, Is carried away in a gust of wind.”

“So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.”
