Moments of Being

Virginia Woolf asserts that moments of being are those flashes of awareness, revealing a pattern hidden behind the 'cotton wool of daily life': that we, "I mean all human beings--are connected with this; that the whole world is a work of art; that we are parts of the work of art." But the individual artist is not important in this work. Instead she says of all people, "We are the words; we are the music; we are the thing itself."
