Quote by Virginia Woolf
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life out

This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say. – Virginia Woolf

Other quotes by Virginia Woolf
