One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.Virginia Woolf
“Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.”

Virginia Woolf was an English writer and a central figure of literary modernism, famous for stream-of-consciousness novels such as Mrs Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927). Her essay A Room of One's Own (1929) became a foundational feminist text on women and writing. With her husband Leonard she founded the Hogarth Press, which published her own work and that of T. S.
