More quotes by Virginia Woolf
What has praise and fame to do with poetry? Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice? So that all this chatter and praise, and blame and meeting people who admired one and meeting people who did not admire one was as ill suited as could be to the thing itself- a voice answering a voice.
Virginia Woolf
Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.
Virginia Woolf
We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
After that, how unbelievable death was! - that is must end and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all.
Virginia Woolf
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?
Virginia Woolf
Incessant company is as bad as solitary confinement.
Virginia Woolf
I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.
Virginia Woolf
The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.
Virginia Woolf
What a comfort is friendship in this world.
Virginia Woolf
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre
Virginia Woolf
She began framing the words of her telegram into a senseless singsong so that several park keepers looked at her with suspicion and were only brought to a favourable opinion of her sanity by noticing the pearl necklace which she wore.
Virginia Woolf
To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze.
Virginia Woolf
The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you've struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong.
Virginia Woolf
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
