More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Virginia Woolf
Image
That would be a glorious life, to addict oneself to perfection to follow the curve of the sentence wherever it might lead, into deserts, under drifts of sand, regardless of lures, of seductions to be poor always and unkempt to be ridiculous in Piccadilly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
As I grow old I hate the writing of letters more and more, and like getting them better and better.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O how blessed it would be never to marry, or grow old but to spend one's life innocently and indifferently among the trees and rivers which alone can keep one cool and childlike in the midst of the troubles of the world!
Virginia Woolf
Image
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf
Image
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball
Virginia Woolf
Image
Where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life stand still here.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have a feeling I shall go mad. I cannot go on longer in these terrible times. I shan't recover this time. I hear voices and cannot concentrate on my work. I have fought against it but cannot fight any longer.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There was no freedom in life, and certainly there was none in death.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Virginia Woolf
Image
At any rate, when a subject is highly controversial-and any question about sex is that-one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.
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
It is probable that both in life and in art the values of a woman are not the values of a man.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is something I want-something I have come to get, and she fell deeper and deeper without knowing quite what it was, with her eyes closed.
Virginia Woolf
