It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Love and religion! thought Clarissa, going back into the drawing room, tingling all over. How detestable, how detestable they are!
Virginia Woolf
Image
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?
Virginia Woolf
Image
A biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many as a thousand.
Virginia Woolf
Image
old emotions like old families have intermarried and have many connections.
Virginia Woolf

Image
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For we think back through our mothers if we are women.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It seemed to her such nonsense-inventing differences, when people, heaven knows, were different enough without that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We all indulge in the strange, pleasant process called thinking, but when it comes to saying, even to someone opposite, what we think, then how little we are able to convey! The phantom is through the mind and out of the window before we can lay salt on
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
Image
Inevitably we look upon society, so kind to you, so harsh to us, as an ill-fitting form that distorts the truth deforms the mind fetters the will.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women and fiction remain, so far as I am concerned, unsolved problems.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For it is probable that when people talk aloud, the selves (of which there may be more than two thousand) are conscious of disserverment, and are trying to communicate but when communication is established there is nothing more to be said.
