More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Night had come—night that she loved of all times, night in which the reflections in the dark pool of the mind shine more clearly than by day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No, she thought, one could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Communication is truth communication is happiness. To share is our duty to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased to conceal nothing to pretend nothing if we are ignorant to say so if we love our friends to let them know it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I think writing, my writing, is a species of mediumship. I become the person.
Virginia Woolf
Image
for it was not knowledge but unity that she desired, not inscriptions on tablets, nothing that could be written in any language known to men, but intimacy itself, which is knowledge
Virginia Woolf
Image
As nobody can possibly tell me whether one's writing is bad or good, the only certain value is one's own pleasure. I am sure of that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Of course, literature is the only spiritual and humane career. Even painting tends to dumness, and music turns people erotic, whereas the more you write the nicer you become.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The history of most women is hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How far we are going to read a poet when we can read about a poet is a problem to lay before biographers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What a lark! What a plunge!
Virginia Woolf
Image
Have you any notion how many books are written about women in the course of one year? Have you any notion how many are written by men? Are you aware that you are, perhaps, the most discussed animal in the universe?
Virginia Woolf
Image
The weight of the world is on our shoulders, its vision is through our eyes if we blink or look aside, or turn back to finger what Plato said or remember Napoleon and his conquests, we inflict on the world the injury of some obliquity. This is life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But it is just when opinions universally prevail and we have added lip service to their authority that we become sometimes most keenly conscious that we do not believe a word that we are saying.
Virginia Woolf
Image
All looked distant and peaceful and strange. The shore seemed refined, far away, unreal. Already the little distance they had sailed had put them far from it and given it the changed look, the composed look, of something receding in which one has no longer any part.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once she knows how to read there's only one thing you can teach her to believe in and that is herself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
