Boy, was this ever good..!
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
"She hated her: she loved her. It was enemies one wanted, not friends – "
Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
“It ended in a transcendental theory which, with her horror of death, allowed her to believe, or say that she believed (for all her scepticism), that since our apparitions, the part of us which appears, are so momentary compared with the other, the unseen part of us, which spreads wide, the unseen might survive, be recovered somehow attached to this person or that, or even haunting certain places, after death. Perhaps – perhaps.”

“What she liked was simply life.
‘That’s what I do it for,’ she said, speaking aloud, to life.”
Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
“Here he opened Shakespeare once more. That boy’s business of the intoxication of language [..] How Shakespeare loathed humanity [..] This was now revealed [..] the message hidden in the beauty of words. The secret signal which one generation passes, under disguise, to the next is loathing, hatred, despair. Dante the same. Aeschylus (translated) the same.
Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
“Ah well, so be it. The compensation of growing old [..] was simply this; that the passions remain as strong as ever, but one has gained – at last! – the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence – the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light...
Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
“Anyhow there was no bitterness in her; none of that sense of moral virtue which is so repulsive in good women. She enjoyed practically everything.”
Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
“..not for a moment did she believe in God; but all the more,
[..]
one must pay back from this secret deposit of exquisite moments”Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
"...with hazel eyes which had that look of apprehension in them which makes complete strangers apprehensive too. The world has raised its whip; where will it descend”
Excerpt From
Mrs. Dalloway
Virginia Woolf -
"Das Wort 'Zeit' sprengte seine Hülse; goß seinen Reichtum über ihn; und von seinen Lippen fielen Muscheln, wie Späne von einem Hobel, ohne sein Zutun, hart, weiß, unvergänglich, Wörter und flogen, um ihre Plätze einzunehmen in einer Ode an die Zeit; einer unsterblichen Ode an die Zeit."
Aus "Mrs. Dalloway" von Virginia Woolf

Celebrating one hundred years of a seminal novel #mrsdalloway
One hundred years ago today, a groundbreaking piece of fiction was published for the first time; this is, of course, "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf, a book which very much changed my life and has a special place in my heart. I was really tempted to celebrate this by re-reading the book, but I don't want to run the risk of too many visits to a favourite volume and also didn't want to rush it.

She felt glad that he had done it; thrown it away while they went on living. The clock was striking. The leaden circles dissolved in the air. But she must go back. She must assemble. She must find Sally and Peter. And she came in from the little room.
