Quote

She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
Our friends - how distant, how mute, how seldom visited and little known. And I, too, am dim to my friends and unknown a phantom, sometimes seen, often not. Life is a dream surely.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Henry James seems most entirely in his element, doing that is to say what everything favors his doing, when it is a question of recollection. The mellow light which swims over the past, the beauty which suffuses even the commonest little figures of that
Virginia Woolf
Image
The truer the facts the better the fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Surely it was time someone invented a new plot, or that the author came out from the bushes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When she read just now to James, 'and there were numbers of soldiers with kettledrums and trumpets,' and his eyes darkened, she thought, why should they grow up, and lose all that?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once she knows how to read there's only one thing you can teach her to believe in and that is herself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Now begins to rise in me the familiar rhythm words that have lain dormant now lift, now toss their crests, and fall and rise, and falls again. I am a poet, yes. Surely I am a great poet.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark here was one.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Come indoors then, and open the books on your library shelves. For you have a library and a good one. A working library, a living library a library where nothing is chained down and nothing is locked up a library where the songs of the singers rise naturally from the lives of the livers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have lost friends, some by death...others by sheer inability to cross the street.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There'll be oceans of talk and emotions without end.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How remorseless life is!
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It seemed to her such nonsense-inventing differences, when people, heaven knows, were different enough without that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I ride rough waters, and shall sink with no one to save me.
