"I feel so intensely the delights of..." - Quote by Virginia Woolf

“We agreed that people are now afraid of the English language. He [T.S. Eliot] said it came of being bookish, but not reading books enough. One should read all styles thoroughly.”

“Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.”

“Alone, condemned, deserted, as those who are about to die are alone, there was a luxury in it, an isolation full of sublimity; a freedom which the attached can never know”

“Out alone in the winter rain, / Intent on giving and taking pain.”

“The tragedy is not that we are alone, but that we cannot be. At times I would give anything in the world to no longer be connected by anything to this universe of men.”

“The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.”

“I have never been able to renounce the light, the pleasure of being, and the freedom in which I grew up.”

“There is no pleasure without a tincture of bitterness.”

“Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.”
