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
As for my next book, I won't write it till it has grown heavy in my mind like a ripe pear pendant, gravid, asking to be cut or it will fall.
Virginia Woolf
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia Woolf
She was like a crinkled poppy with the desire to drink dry dust.
Virginia Woolf
For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think well not even to think. To be silent to be alone.
Virginia Woolf
. . . to walk alone in London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
For women live much more in the past...they attach themselves to places.
Virginia Woolf
One cannot bring children into a world like this. One cannot perpetuate suffering, or increase the breed of these lustful animals, who have no lasting emotions, but only whims and vanities, eddying them now this way, now that.
Virginia Woolf
... pure honesty is a doubtful quality it means often lack of imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Happily, at forty-six I still feel as experimental and on the verge of getting at the truth as ever.
Virginia Woolf
Our apparitions, the things you know us by, are simply childish. Beneath it is all dark, it is all spreading, it is unfathomably deep but now and again we rise to the surface and that is what you see us by.
Virginia Woolf
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
I feel my brains, like a pear, to see if it's ripe it will be exquisite by September.
Virginia Woolf
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
For there is a virtue in truth it has an almost mystic power. Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light.
Virginia Woolf
The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.
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
. . . clumsiness is often mated with a love of solitude.
Virginia Woolf
The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?
Virginia Woolf
The hatchet must fall on the block the oak must be cleft to the centre. The weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here is the pen and the paper on the letters in the wire basket I sign my name, I, I, and again I.
Virginia Woolf
