More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
I meant to write about death, only life came breaking in as usual
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness dull, callous, and indifferent.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze.
Virginia Woolf
Image
My notion's to think of the human beings first and let the abstract ideas take care of themselves.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Am I a weed, carried this way, that way, on a tide that comes twice a day without a meaning?
Virginia Woolf
Image
All looked distant and peaceful and strange. The shore seemed refined, far away, unreal. Already the little distance they had sailed had put them far from it and given it the changed look, the composed look, of something receding in which one has no longer any part.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But how entirely I live in my imagination how completely depend upon spurts of thought, coming as I walk, as I sit things churning up in my mind and so making a perpetual pageant, which is to be my happiness.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life for both sexes is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. More than anything... it calls for confidence in oneself...And how can we generate this imponderable quality most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O friendship, I too will press flowers between the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets!
Virginia Woolf
Image
Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice?
Virginia Woolf
Image
The real novelist, the perfectly simple human being, could go on, indefinitely imaging.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Incessant company is as bad as solitary confinement.
Virginia Woolf
Image
These moments of escape are not to be despised. They come too seldom.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I worship you, but I loathe marriage. I hate its smugness, its safety, its compromise and the thought of you interfering with my work, hindering me what would you answer?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let us record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There was no treachery too base for the world to commit.
Virginia Woolf
Image
As nobody can possibly tell me whether one's writing is bad or good, the only certain value is one's own pleasure. I am sure of that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am volatile for one, rigid for another, angular as an icicle in silver, or voluptuous as a candle flame in gold.
Virginia Woolf
