More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I find that when I've seen a certain number of people my mind becomes like an old match box -- the part one strikes on, I mean.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
Peace was the third emotion. Love. Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life.

Virginia Woolf

He could reason he could read, Dante for example, quite easily…he could add up his bill his brain was perfect it must be the fault of the world then- that he could not feel.
Virginia Woolf
To be nothing - is that not, after all, the most satisfactory fact in the whole world?
Virginia Woolf
I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf
. . . clumsiness is often mated with a love of solitude.
Virginia Woolf
So coming back from a journey, or after an illness, before habits had spun themselves across the surface, one felt that same unreality, which was so startling felt something emerge. Life was most vivid then.
Virginia Woolf
Fatigue is the safest sleeping draught.
Virginia Woolf
Moments like this are buds on the tree of life. Flowers of darkness they are.
Virginia Woolf
... it's been a perpetual discovery, my life. A miracle.
Virginia Woolf
I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh.
Virginia Woolf
A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
Virginia Woolf
