More quotes by Virginia Woolf
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Virginia Woolf
It is useless to read Greek in translation translators can but offer us a vague equivalent.
Virginia Woolf
He began to search among the infinite series of impressions which time had laid down, leaf upon leaf, fold upon fold softly, incessantly upon his brain among scents, sounds voices, harsh, hollow, sweet and lights passing, and brooms tapping and the wash and hush of the sea.
Virginia Woolf
On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.
Virginia Woolf
It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.
Virginia Woolf
We seem to be riding on the top of the highest mast of the tallest ship and yet at the same time we know that nothing of this sort matters love is not proved thus, nor great achievements completed thus so that we sport with the moment and preen our feathers in it lightly.
Virginia Woolf
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia Woolf
As a creator of character his peculiarity is that he creates wherever his eyes rest ... With such a power at his command Dickens made his books blaze up, not by tightening the plot or sharpening the wit, but by throwing another handful of people upon the fire.
Virginia Woolf
I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.
Virginia Woolf
He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.
Virginia Woolf
The history of most women is hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence.
Virginia Woolf
Wine has a drastic, an astringent taste. I cannot help wincing as I drink. Ascent of flowers, radiance and heat, are distilled here to a fiery, yellow liquid. Just behind my shoulder-blades some dry thing, wide-eyed, gently closes, gradually lulls itself to sleep. This is rapture. This is relief.
Virginia Woolf
How can I express the darkness?
Virginia Woolf
Ransack the language as he might, words failed him. He wanted another landscape, and another tongue.
Virginia Woolf
The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.
Virginia Woolf
In illness words seem to possess a mystic quality.
Virginia Woolf
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
To enjoy freedom ... we have of course to control ourselves. We must not squander our powers, helplessly and ignorantly, squirting half the house in order to water a single rose.
Virginia Woolf
The world was going on as usual. All the time she was writing the world had continued.
Virginia Woolf
Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment.
Virginia Woolf
