"One likes people much better when they're..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.”

“We seem to be riding on the top of the highest mast of the tallest ship; and yet at the same time we know that nothing of this sort matters; love is not proved thus, nor great achievements completed thus; so that we sport with the moment and preen our feathers in it lightly.”

“There are no teachers, saints, prophets, good people, but the artists.”

“I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.”

“I am looking for an honest man.”

“The goitre of egotism is so frequent among notable persons, that we must infer some strong necessity in nature which it subserves;such as we see in the sexual attraction.”

“My life is a struggle.”

“In an atmosphere of ahimsa, one has no scope to put his ahimsa to the test. It can be tested only in the face of himsa.”

“They do say that when a man starts down hill everybody is ready to help him with a kick, and I suppose it is so.”
