More quotes by Virginia Woolf
How far we are going to read a poet when we can read about a poet is a problem to lay before biographers.
Virginia Woolf
To put it in a nutshell, he was afflicted with a love of literature. It was the fatal nature of this disease to substitute a phantom for reality.
Virginia Woolf
I feel my brains, like a pear, to see if it's ripe it will be exquisite by September.
Virginia Woolf
Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.
Virginia Woolf
Surely it was time someone invented a new plot, or that the author came out from the bushes.
Virginia Woolf
He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink.
Virginia Woolf
He was a thorough good sort a bit limited a bit thick in the head yes but a thorough good sort. Whatever he took up he did in the same matter-of-fact sensible way without a touch of imagination, without a sparkle of brilliancy, but with the inexplicable niceness of his type.
Virginia Woolf
The spring without a leaf to toss, bare and bright like a virgin fierce in her chastity, scornful in her purity, was laid out on fields wide-eyed and watchful and entirely careless of what was done or thought by the beholders.
Virginia Woolf
I like going from one lighted room to another, such is my brain to me lighted rooms.
Virginia Woolf
But beauty must be broken daily to remain beautiful.
Virginia Woolf
to write a novel in the heart of London is next to an impossibility. I feel as if I were nailing a flag to the top of a mast in a raging gale.
Virginia Woolf
So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again.
Virginia Woolf
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
Virginia Woolf
Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.
Virginia Woolf
if newspapers were written by people whose sole object in writing was to tell the truth about politics and the truth about art we should not believe in war, and we should believe in art.
Virginia Woolf
A thousand things to be written had I time: had I power. A very little writing uses up my capacity for writing.
Virginia Woolf
We scarcely wish to analyse what we feel to be so large and deeply human.
Virginia Woolf
Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.
Virginia Woolf
Each had his own business to think of. Each had his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends could only read the title.
Virginia Woolf
I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another.
Virginia Woolf
