More quotes by Virginia Woolf
What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once.
Virginia Woolf
literature is the record of our discontent.
Virginia Woolf
All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made.
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 have made up thousands of stories I have filled innumerable notebooks with phrases to be used when I have found the true story, the one story to which all these phrases refer. But I have never yet found the story. And I begin to ask, Are there stories?
Virginia Woolf
Books should stand on their own feet ... If they need shoring up by a preface here, an introduction there, they have no more right to exist than a table that needs a wad of paper under one leg in order to stand steady.
Virginia Woolf
She fell into a deep pool of sticky water, which eventually closed over her head. She saw nothing and heard nothing but a faint booming sound, which was the sound of the sea rolling over her head. While all her tormentors thought that she was dead, she was not dead, but curled up at the bottom of the sea.
Virginia Woolf
Let us not take for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small.
Virginia Woolf
It doesn't have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down.
Virginia Woolf
The art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea.
Virginia Woolf
Romantic Love is only an Illusion. A story one makes up in One's Mind about Another Person.
Virginia Woolf
Moreover, a book is not made of sentences laid end to end, but of sentences built, if an image helps, into arcades or domes.
Virginia Woolf
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.
Virginia Woolf
Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
I prefer men to cauliflowers
Virginia Woolf
The depths of the sea are only water after all.
Virginia Woolf
I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.
Virginia Woolf
They went in and out of each other's minds without any effort.
Virginia Woolf
