Life Quotes Quote by Virginia Woolf, Orlando — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Aren't you, like me, hoping that some person, thing, or event will come along to give you that final feeling of inner well-being you desire? Don't you often hope: 'May this book, idea, course, trip, job, country or relationship fulfill my deepest desire.' But as long as you are waiting for that mysterious moment you will go on running helter-skelter, always anxious and restless, always lustful and angry, never fully satisfied. You know that this is the compulsiveness that keeps us going and busy, but at the same time makes us wonder whether we are getting anywhere in the long run. This is the way to spiritual exhaustion and burn-out. This is the way to spiritual death.”

““Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong'.”

“Dying is only one thing to be sad over. Living unhappily is something else.”

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
