More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.
Virginia Woolf
Wat a vast fertility of pleasure books hold for me! I went in and found the table laden with books. I looked in and sniffed them all. I could not resist carrying this one off and broaching it. I think I could happily live here and read forever.
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
The best letters of our time are precisely those that can never be published.
Virginia Woolf
to write a novel in the heart of London is next to an impossibility. I feel as if I were nailing a flag to the top of a mast in a raging gale.
Virginia Woolf
Well, we must wait for the future to show.
Virginia Woolf
I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.
Virginia Woolf
Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing.
Virginia Woolf
The mind is the most capricious of insects — flitting, fluttering.
Virginia Woolf
... pure honesty is a doubtful quality it means often lack of imagination.
Virginia Woolf
He lay on his chair with his hands clasped above his paunch not reading, or sleeping, but basking like a creature gorged with existence.
Virginia Woolf
I ride rough waters, and shall sink with no one to save me.
Virginia Woolf
He called her a melon, a pineapple, an olive tree, an emerald, and a fox in the snow all in the space of three seconds he did not know whether he had heard her, tasted her, seen her, or all three together.
Virginia Woolf
How lovely goodness is in those who, stepping lightly, go smiling through the world.
Virginia Woolf
It is useless to read Greek in translation translators can but offer us a vague equivalent.
Virginia Woolf
Use words that soak up life.
Virginia Woolf
To love makes one solitary.
Virginia Woolf
Books should stand on their own feet ... If they need shoring up by a preface here, an introduction there, they have no more right to exist than a table that needs a wad of paper under one leg in order to stand steady.
Virginia Woolf
In marriage a little licence, a little independence there must be between people living together day in and day out in the same house.
Virginia Woolf
It doesn't have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down.
Virginia Woolf
