More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities?
Virginia Woolf
Image
I press to my centre, and find there is something there.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O why do I ever let anyone read what I write! Every time I have to go through a breakfast with a letter of criticism I swear I will write for my own praise or blame in future. It is a misery.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf

The history of most women is hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you've struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Love, the poet said, is woman's whole existence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Communication is truth communication is happiness. To share is our duty to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased to conceal nothing to pretend nothing if we are ignorant to say so if we love our friends to let them know it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The world has raised its whip where will it descend?
Virginia Woolf
Image
We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
writing is the profound pleasure and being read the superficial.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is impossible for human beings, constituted as they are, both to fight and to have ideals.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is something I want-something I have come to get, and she fell deeper and deeper without knowing quite what it was, with her eyes closed.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Most of a modest woman's life was spent, after all, in denying what, in one day at least of every year, was made obvious.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But I beneath a rougher sea, And whelmed in deeper gulfs than he.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.
Virginia Woolf

Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.

The poet is always our contemporary.
