Virginia Woolf

She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.

The mind is an enchanting thing.

I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of not living.

The truth is, I am a woman. And I am a writer. And I am a human being. And I am all of these things at once.

The world is a stage, and we are all actors upon it.

I am not myself. I am a thousand different people, all at once.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.

The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

I am a spiritual being, having a human experience.

The world is a mirror, reflecting back to us our own thoughts and feelings.

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

I am a soul, and I have a body.

The world is a mystery, and we are here to solve it.

I am a part of everything, and everything is a part of me.

The world is a song, and we are the singers.

I am a river, and I flow to the sea.

The world is a dance, and we are the dancers.

I am a light, and I shine in the darkness.

The world is a poem, and we are the words.

I am a dream, and I am dreaming.
