Virginia Woolf is well known for her pithy aphorisms about love, writing, feminism and the need for "a room of one's own." This eponymous collection of quotes collects Woolf's wisdom on these and other topics, including "Living Well," "Being Oneself" and "Seeking Truth."
Beautifully designed with lettering in bold orange and purple, the book consists entirely of quotes from Woolf's body of work about reading ("Books are the mirrors of the soul"), falling in love ("Love had a thousand shapes"), fierce independence ("Thinking is my fighting") and the "knife's blade" separating happiness from melancholy. A perfect size to flip through or slip into a pocket for inspiration on the go, this collection gives readers a tantalizing dose of Woolf and will leave them wanting more. --Katie Noah Gibson, blogger at Cakes, Tea and Dreams
