Virginia Woolf Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: January 25, 1882 - March 28, 1941
Birthday: January 25
Death: March 28
The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.
