"He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“History is too much about wars; biography too much about great men.”

“Peace was the third emotion. Love. Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life.”

“Now begins to rise in me the familiar rhythm; words that have lain dormant now lift, now toss their crests, and fall and rise, and falls again. I am a poet, yes. Surely I am a great poet.”

“I love writing, it's the center of my life. If you don't love what you do, you'd better find something else to love. Otherwise, you don't have a reason for living.”

“I know of only one duty, and that is to love.”

“Women's love is for their men, not for their children.”

“Mine eyes Were not in fault, for she was beautiful; Mine ears, that heard her flattery; nor my heart, That thought her like her seeming. It had been vicious To have mistrusted her.”

“People in pain don’t always see things as clearly as they should.”

“Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation.”
