More quotes by 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
Why does one write these books after all? The drudgery, the misery, the grind, are forgotten everytime and one launches another, and it seems sheer joy and buoyancy.
Virginia Woolf
No, I'm not clever. I've always cared more for people than for ideas.
Virginia Woolf
Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
Virginia Woolf
Thoughts without words… Can that be?
Virginia Woolf
It was odd, she thought, how if one was alone, one leant to inanimate things trees, streams, flowers felt they expressed one felt they became one felt they knew one, in a sense were one felt an irrational tenderness thus (she looked at that long steady light) as for oneself.
Virginia Woolf
There was a day when I liked writing letters -- it has gone. Unfortunately the passion for getting them remains.
Virginia Woolf
When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet. . . indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Virginia Woolf
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
I am obsessed at nights with the idea of my own worthlessness, and if it were only to turn a light on to save my life I think I would not do it. These are the last footprints of a headache I suppose. Do you ever feel that? - like an old weed in a stream. What do you feel, lying in bed?
Virginia Woolf
With twice his wits, she had to see things through his eyes -- one of the tragedies of married life.
Virginia Woolf
Life piles up so fast that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections.
Virginia Woolf
women have always been poor, not for two hundred years merely, but from the beginning of time. ... Women, then, have not had a dog's chance of writing poetry. That is why I have laid so much stress on money and a room of one's own.
Virginia Woolf
It is strange how a scrap of poetry works in the mind and makes the legs move in time to it along the road.
Virginia Woolf
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
Words belong to each other.
Virginia Woolf
Like all very handsome men who die tragically, he left not so much a character behind him as a legend. Youth and death shed a halo through which it is difficult to see a real face.
Virginia Woolf
Lord, how tired one gets of one's own writing.
Virginia Woolf
Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.
Virginia Woolf
