"To communicate is our chief business; society..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Each had his own business to think of. Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart; and his friends could only read the title.”

“Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.”

“Women have burnt like beacons in all the works of all the poets from the beginning of time.”

“If I could say this I wouldn't have to paint.”

“When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is Metaphysics.”

“Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action”

“I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.”

“For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.”

“Virtue alone is sweet society,It keeps the key to all heroic hearts,And opens you a welcome in them all.”
