Quotation from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

“She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.”

Virginia Woolf (spoken by Narrator (Clarissa's thought))

Mrs. Dalloway, Morning, at the Park gates in Piccadilly (Project Gutenberg #71865 (Harcourt, Brace text))
