More quotes by 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
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Did it matter then, she asked herself, walking towards Bond Street, did it matter that she must inevitably cease completely? All this must go on without her did she resent it or did it not become consoling to believe that death ended absolutely?
Virginia Woolf
Life stand still here.
Virginia Woolf
Thinking is my fighting.
Virginia Woolf
When I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me I am in darkness—I am nothing.
Virginia Woolf
So coming back from a journey, or after an illness, before habits had spun themselves across the surface, one felt that same unreality, which was so startling felt something emerge. Life was most vivid then.
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
There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them.
Virginia Woolf
One can only believe entirely, perhaps, in what one cannot see.
Virginia Woolf
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
So the days pass, and I ask myself whether one is not hypnotized, as a child by a silver globe, by life, and whether this is living.
Virginia Woolf
I have made up thousands of stories I have filled innumerable notebooks with phrases to be used when I have found the true story, the one story to which all these phrases refer. But I have never yet found the story. And I begin to ask, Are there stories?
Virginia Woolf
No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes
Virginia Woolf
Well, we must wait for the future to show.
Virginia Woolf
Art is not a copy of the real world one of the damn things is enough.
Virginia Woolf
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.
Virginia Woolf
Thoughts without words… Can that be?
Virginia Woolf
As a creator of character his peculiarity is that he creates wherever his eyes rest ... With such a power at his command Dickens made his books blaze up, not by tightening the plot or sharpening the wit, but by throwing another handful of people upon the fire.
Virginia Woolf
For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.
Virginia Woolf
