More quotes by Virginia Woolf
They all dreamt of each other that night, as was natural, considering how thin the partitions were between them, and how strangely they had been lifted off the earth to sit next each other in mid-ocean, and see every detail of each others' faces, and hear whatever they chanced to say.
Virginia Woolf
To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.
Virginia Woolf
Let it be fact, one feels, or let it be fiction the imagination will not serve under two masters simultaneously.
Virginia Woolf
I like books whose virtue is all drawn together in a page or two. I like sentences that don't budge though armies cross them.
Virginia Woolf
What a lark! What a plunge!
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
The immense success of our life is, I think, that our treasure is hid away or rather in such common things that nothing can touch it.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
There was no freedom in life, and certainly there was none in death.
Virginia Woolf
As a woman, I have no country
Virginia Woolf
But words have been used too often touched and turned, and left exposed to the dust of the street. The words we seek hang close to the tree. We come at dawn and find them sweet beneath the leaf.
Virginia Woolf
I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf
For love... has two faces one white, the other black two bodies one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together
Virginia Woolf
Why, he wondered, did people who had been asleep always want to make out that they were extremely wide-awake?
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
Never did anybody look so sad. Bitter and black, halfway down, in the darkness, in the shaft which ran from the sunlight to the depths, perhaps a tear formed a tear fell the waves swayed this way and that, received it, and were at rest. Never did anybody look so sad.
Virginia Woolf
I have sought happiness through many ages and not found it.
Virginia Woolf
... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
Virginia Woolf
Use words that soak up life.
Virginia Woolf
The depths of the sea are only water after all.
Virginia Woolf
