There were the eternal problems: suffering; death; the poor.
— Virginia Woolf
About this Quote
Quote in Context
She felt this thing that she called life terrible, hostile, and quick to pounce on you if you gave it a chance. There were the eternal problems: suffering; death; the poor. There was always a woman dying of cancer even here. And yet she had said to all these children, You shall go through with it.
