More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A light here required a shadow there.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Thus Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Joyce partly spoil their books for women readers by their display of self-conscious virility and Mr. Hemingway, but much less violently, follows suit.
Virginia Woolf
Image
That complete statement which is literature.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The poet is always our contemporary.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigues, I have had my vision.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am to be broken. I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Like most uneducated Englishwomen, I like reading--I like reading books in the bulk.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?
Virginia Woolf
Image
We insist, it seems, on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was a silly, silly dream, being unhappy.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have sought happiness through many ages and not found it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I grow numb I grow stiff. How shall I break up this numbness which discredits my sympathetic heart?
Virginia Woolf
