Eloquent, profoundly melancholic, intelligent and deeply wise, sentimental and provocative yet always raw in terms of emotion, Virginia Woolf was a woman entirely ahead of her time. This is made with much love and respect in her memory.
Yet, if one is to deal with people on a large scale and say what one thinks, how can one avoid melancholy? I find it impossible to keep out thoughts about all sorts of things.
Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry dated 12 April 1919. (via violentwavesofemotion)
