More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I need not hate any man he cannot hurt me. I need not flatter any man he has nothing to give me.
Virginia Woolf
All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made.
Virginia Woolf
Tragedies come in the hungry hours.
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
How much better is silence the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.
Virginia Woolf
I want to write a novel about Silence, he said “the things people don’t say.
Virginia Woolf
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mould of the body and mind entire.
Virginia Woolf
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf
To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?
Virginia Woolf
For this moment, this one moment, we are together. I press you to me. Come, pain, feed on me. Bury your fangs in my flesh. Tear me asunder. I sob, I sob.
Virginia Woolf
Use words that soak up life.
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
How can I express the darkness?
Virginia Woolf
I am rooted, but I flow.
Virginia Woolf
Like most uneducated Englishwomen, I like reading--I like reading books in the bulk.
Virginia Woolf
It would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare.
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
