More quotes by Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room

"Every face, every shop, bedroom window, public-house, and dark square is a picture feverishly turned--in search of what? It is the same with books. What do we seek through millions of pages?"
"Indeed there has never been any explanation of the ebb and flow in our veins--of happiness and unhappiness."
"When the body escaped mutilation, seldom did the heart go to the grave unscarred."
"anyone who’s worth anything reads just what he likes, as the mood takes him, and with extravagant enthusiasm."
