More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Ransack the language as he might, words failed him. He wanted another landscape, and another tongue.
Virginia Woolf
But the close withdrew: the hand softened. It was over-- the moment.
Virginia Woolf
... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
How can I express the darkness?
Virginia Woolf
For women live much more in the past...they attach themselves to places.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
These moments of escape are not to be despised. They come too seldom.
Virginia Woolf
When I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me I am in darkness—I am nothing.
Virginia Woolf
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
Different though the sexes are, they inter-mix. In every human being a vacillation from one sex to the other takes place, and often it is only the clothes that keep the male or female likeness, while underneath the sex is very opposite of what it is above.
Virginia Woolf
It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life.
Virginia Woolf
Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
Virginia Woolf
