Better is Silence ~ Virginia Woolf


“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.”

― Virginia Woolf

  1. I am not a Quaker however much of your blog resonates with me. Spiritual leaning is Buddist. Perused through many of your posts and found them wise and calming. --- barbara
