Virginia Woolf
  • Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.

  • It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

  • Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.

  • Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.

  • The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
