"Who would not spout the family teapot..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.”

“I press to my centre, and find there is something there.”

“Lord, how tired one gets of one's own writing.”

“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”

“But Shakespeare one gets acquainted with without knowing how. It is a part of an Englishman's constitution. His thoughts and beauties are so spread abroad that one touches them everywhere; one is intimate with him by instinct. No man of any brain can open at a good part of one of his plays without falling into the flow of his meaning immediately.”

“Ideally, we should like to define a good book as one which 'permits, invites, or compels' good reading”

“I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!- Elizabeth Bennet”

“He is exactly the poem I wanted to write.”

“Poetry makes life what lights and music do the stage.”
