"Praise and blame alike mean nothing. No,..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“I am rooted, but I flow.”

“In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.”

“But I think I’m coloured by my own wishes, & experimental mood.”

“Some natures are too good to be spoiled by praise.”

“Then to Silvia let us sing that Silvia is excelling. She excels each mortal thing upon the dull earth dwelling.”

“Man only blames himself in order that he may be praised.”

“Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.All that was said in Ireland is a lieBreed out of the contagion of the throng,Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”

“You cannot be loving when you are blaming. You cannot be loving when you are criticising. You cannot be loving when you are judging.”

“To grumble about the world and its unhappiness is always easier than to beat one's breast and groan over oneself.”
