More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Moments like this are buds on the tree of life. Flowers of darkness they are.
Virginia Woolf
Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.
Virginia Woolf
If Shakespeare had never existed, he asked, would the world have differed much from what it is today? Does the progress of civilization depend upon great men? Is the lot of the average human being better now that in the time of the Pharaohs?
Virginia Woolf
Among the tortures and devestations of life is this then - our friends are not able to finish their stories.
Virginia Woolf
They went in and out of each other's minds without any effort.
Virginia Woolf
I was so pleased and excited by your letter that I trotted about all day like a puppy with a bone.
Virginia Woolf
Often on a wet day I begin counting up what I've read what I haven't read.
Virginia Woolf
I [who] am perpetually making notes in the margin of my mind for some final statement.
Virginia Woolf
The way to write well is to live intensely.
Virginia Woolf
And you wish to be a poet and you wish to be a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Long ago I realized that no other person would be to me what you are.
Virginia Woolf
Orlando naturally loved solitary places, vast views, and to feel himself for ever and ever and ever alone.
Virginia Woolf
Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand.
Virginia Woolf
Like most uneducated Englishwomen, I like reading--I like reading books in the bulk.
Virginia Woolf
In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.
Virginia Woolf
These moments of escape are not to be despised. They come too seldom.
Virginia Woolf
Thus Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Joyce partly spoil their books for women readers by their display of self-conscious virility and Mr. Hemingway, but much less violently, follows suit.
Virginia Woolf
One should be a painter. As a writer, I feel the beauty, which is almost entirely colour, very subtle, very changeable, running over my pen, as if you poured a large jug of champagne over a hairpin.
Virginia Woolf
Inevitably we look upon society, so kind to you, so harsh to us, as an ill-fitting form that distorts the truth deforms the mind fetters the will.
Virginia Woolf
Was there no safety? No learning by heart of the ways of the world? No guide, no shelter, but all was miracle, and leaping from the pinnacle of a tower into the air? Could it be, even for elderly people, that this was life?--startling, unexpected, unknown?
Virginia Woolf
