More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
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
I like the unreality of your mind the whole thing is very splendid and voluptuous and absurd.
Virginia Woolf
Criticism? An artist wants praise. Praise.
Virginia Woolf
What does the brain matter compared with the heart?
Virginia Woolf
literature is the record of our discontent.
Virginia Woolf
I ransack public libraries & find them full of sunk treasure.
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
Intellectual freedom depends upon material things.
Virginia Woolf
The cold stream of visual impressions failed him now as if the eye were a cup that overflowed and let the rest run down its china walls unrecorded.
Virginia Woolf
To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.
Virginia Woolf
At one and the same time, therefore, society is everything and society is nothing. Society is the most powerful concoction in the world and society has no existence whatsoever
Virginia Woolf
You cannot cross the narrow bridge of art carrying all its tools in your hands. Some you must leave behind.
Virginia Woolf
To love makes one solitary.
Virginia Woolf
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
Virginia Woolf
The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.
Virginia Woolf
For books continue each other, in spite of our habit of judging them separately.
Virginia Woolf
How far we are going to read a poet when we can read about a poet is a problem to lay before biographers.
Virginia Woolf
But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.
Virginia Woolf
I want to think quietly, calmly, spaciously, never to be interrupted, never to have to rise from my chair, to slip easily from one thing to another, without any sense of hostility, or obstacle. I want to sink deeper and deeper, away from the surface, with its hard separate facts.
Virginia Woolf
