“For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Common Reader

“To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Common Reader

“There is the strange power we have of changing facts by the force of the imagination.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Common Reader

“Every season is likeable, and wet days and fine, red wine and white, company and solitude. Even sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life, can be full of dreams; and the most common actions ― a walk, a talk, solitude in one’s own orchard ― can be enhanced and lit up by the association of the mind. Beauty is everywhere, and beauty is only two finger’s-breadth from goodness.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Common Reader
