For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A light here required a shadow there.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O how blessed it would be never to marry, or grow old but to spend one's life innocently and indifferently among the trees and rivers which alone can keep one cool and childlike in the midst of the troubles of the world!
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
Without self awareness we are as babies in the cradles.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How lovely goodness is in those who, stepping lightly, go smiling through the world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works, yet we require critics to explain the one and biographers to expound the other. That time hangs heavy on people's hands is the only explanation of the monstrous growth.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He smiled the most exquisite smile, veiled by memory, tinged by dreams.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is useless to read Greek in translation translators can but offer us a vague equivalent.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Intellectual freedom depends upon material things.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Dance music ... stirs some barbaric instinct - lulled asleep in our sober lives - you forget centuries of civilization in a second, & yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
