What's the good of your writing?"" - Virginia Woolf ('A Room of One's Own') -- Selected Virginia Woolf quotes now at your fingertips A great way to explore the ideas and philosophy of Virginia Woolf Perfect for casual reading, sparking ideas, and finding inspiration Makes an excellent gift choice for friends and family -- ""We may enjoy our room in the tower, with the painted walls and the commodious bookcases, but down in the garden there is a man digging who buried his father this morning, and it is he and his like who live the real life and speak the real language."" - Virginia Woolf ('The Common Reader') -- ""The immense success of our life is, I think, that our treasure is hid away; or rather in such common things that nothing can touch it."" - Virginia Woolf ('The Diary of Virginia Woolf') -- ""My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery - always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud.
