More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
It is no use trying to sum people up.
Virginia Woolf
To let oneself be carried on passively is unthinkable.
Virginia Woolf
There was a serenity about him always that had the look of innocence, when, technically, the word was no longer applicable.
Virginia Woolf
I often wish I'd got on better with your father,' he said.
Virginia Woolf
Without self awareness we are as babies in the cradles.
Virginia Woolf
Like all very handsome men who die tragically, he left not so much a character behind him as a legend. Youth and death shed a halo through which it is difficult to see a real face.
Virginia Woolf
