More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Facts must be manipulated some must be brightened others shaded yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
Virginia Woolf
It was odd, she thought, how if one was alone, one leant to inanimate things trees, streams, flowers felt they expressed one felt they became one felt they knew one, in a sense were one felt an irrational tenderness thus (she looked at that long steady light) as for oneself.
Virginia Woolf
The cold stream of visual impressions failed him now as if the eye were a cup that overflowed and let the rest run down its china walls unrecorded.
Virginia Woolf
One can only believe entirely, perhaps, in what one cannot see.
Virginia Woolf
I was always going to the bookcase for another sip of the divine specific.
Virginia Woolf
Have you any notion how many books are written about women in the course of one year? Have you any notion how many are written by men? Are you aware that you are, perhaps, the most discussed animal in the universe?
Virginia Woolf
Still, the sun was hot. Still, one got over things. Still, life had a way of adding day to day
Virginia Woolf
No, she thought, one could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low.
Virginia Woolf
I need not hate any man he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man he has nothing to give me.
Virginia Woolf
So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.
Virginia Woolf
And you wish to be a poet and you wish to be a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice?
Virginia Woolf
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
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
Would there be trees if we didn't see them?
Virginia Woolf
I think writing, my writing, is a species of mediumship. I become the person.
Virginia Woolf
Night had come—night that she loved of all times, night in which the reflections in the dark pool of the mind shine more clearly than by day.
Virginia Woolf
A feminist is any woman who tells the truth about her life
Virginia Woolf
If people are highly successful in their profession they lose their senses. Sight goes. They have no time to look at pictures. Sound goes. They have no time to listen to music. Speech goes. They have no time for conversation. They lose their sense of proportion.
Virginia Woolf
As I grow old I hate the writing of letters more and more, and like getting them better and better.
Virginia Woolf
