"The best letters of our time are..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Whenever you see a board up with "Trespassers will be prosecuted," trespass at once.”

“The poet is always our contemporary.”

“People ask me why I write. I write to find out what I know.”

“And if I had not a letter to write myself, I might sit by you and admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. But I have an aunt too, who must not be longer neglected.”

“Women are the only correspondents to be depended on.”

“Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost. Life would split asunder without them. 'Come to tea, come to dinner, what's the truth of the story? have you heard the news? life in the capital is wonderful; the Russian dancers....' These are our stays and props. These lace our days together and make of life a perfect globe.”

“The man with a host of friends who slaps on the back everybody he meets is regarded as the friend of nobody.”

“We had better appear what we are, than affect to appear what we are not.”

“Past scholars studied to improve themselves; Today's scholars study to impress others.”
