One of the most prominent modernist writers of the twentieth century, Virginia Woolf lent a soul to modern writing. Her novels often followed stream of consciousness and the stories moved back and forth in time, just like our memory does. One of the pioneers of stream of consciousness writing, Woolf charted the psychological and emotional journeys of her characters acutely, and also talked about post-war depression. 

Most loved for her works “A Room Of One’s Own”, “Mrs Dalloway”, “To The Lighthouse” and “Orlando”, Virginia Woolf poured out her soul on paper. Her works have been translated in over 50 languages. Here are 11 quotes by her that are as beautiful as they are poignant.
