Virginia Woolf Quotes

Would It Not Be Wiser, Then, To Remit This Part Of Reading And To Allow The Critics, The Gowned And Furred Authorities Of The Library, To Decide The Question Of The Book's Absolute Value For Us? Yet How Impossible! We May Stress The Value Of Sympathy; We May Try To Sink Our Identity As We Read. But We Know That We Cannot Sympathise Wholly Or Immerse Ourselves Wholly; There Is Always A Demon In Us Who Whispers, "I Hate, I Love", And We Cannot Silence Him. Indeed, It Is Precisely Because We Hate And We Love That Our Relation With The Poets And Novelists Is So Intimate That We Find The Presence Of Another Person Intolerable. And Even If The Results Are Abhorrent And Our Judgments Are Wrong, Still Our Taste, The Nerve Of Sensation That Sends Shocks Through Us, Is Our Chief Illuminant; We Learn Through Feeling; We Cannot Suppress Our Own Idiosyncrasy Without Impoverishing It.
