More quotes by Virginia Woolf
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
Theories then are dangerous things.
Virginia Woolf
What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know ... I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.
Virginia Woolf
When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?
Virginia Woolf
All extremes are dangerous.
Virginia Woolf
For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
People ask me why I write. I write to find out what I know.
Virginia Woolf
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
It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life.
Virginia Woolf
For beyond the difficulty of communicating oneself, there is the supreme difficulty of being oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
But beauty must be broken daily to remain beautiful.
Virginia Woolf
Fear no more, says the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?
Virginia Woolf
I have had my vision.
Virginia Woolf
I ransack public libraries & find them full of sunk treasure.
Virginia Woolf
