More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Chastity ... has, even now, a religious importance in a woman's life, and has so wrapped itself round with nerves and instincts that to cut it free and bring it to the light of day demands courage of the rarest.
Virginia Woolf
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
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

Virginia Woolf
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf
I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night.
Virginia Woolf
A perfect treat must include a trip to a second-hand bookshop.
Virginia Woolf
The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you've struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong.
Virginia Woolf
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf
So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball
Virginia Woolf
The world was going on as usual. All the time she was writing the world had continued.
Virginia Woolf
Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.
Virginia Woolf
