More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Altogether, the task of estimating the length of human life is beyond our capacity, for directly we say that it is ages long, we are reminded that it is briefer than the fall of a rose leaf to the ground.
Virginia Woolf
Books are the mirrors of the soul.
Virginia Woolf
I ransack public libraries & find them full of sunk treasure.
Virginia Woolf
And when we are writing the life of a woman, we may, it is agreed, waive our demand for action, and substitute love instead. Love, the poet has said, is a woman's whole existence.
Virginia Woolf
But our hatred is almost indistinguishable from our love.
Virginia Woolf
Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.
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
Once she knows how to read there's only one thing you can teach her to believe in and that is herself.
Virginia Woolf
... pure honesty is a doubtful quality it means often lack of imagination.
Virginia Woolf
I do think all good and evil comes from words. I have to tune myself into a good temper with something musical, and I run to a book as a child to its mother.
Virginia Woolf
We scarcely wish to analyse what we feel to be so large and deeply human.
Virginia Woolf
A good essay must have this permanent quality about it it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
Virginia Woolf
Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
I think writing, my writing, is a species of mediumship. I become the person.
Virginia Woolf
I mean it's the writing, not the being read, that excites me.
Virginia Woolf
The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.
Virginia Woolf
Outside the trees dragged their leaves like nets through the depths of the air the sound of water was in the room and through the waves came the voices of birds singing.
Virginia Woolf
One can only believe entirely, perhaps, in what one cannot see.
Virginia Woolf
That great Cathedral space which was childhood.
Virginia Woolf
