More quotes by Virginia Woolf
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
Virginia Woolf
Well, we must wait for the future to show.
Virginia Woolf
When she read just now to James, 'and there were numbers of soldiers with kettledrums and trumpets,' and his eyes darkened, she thought, why should they grow up, and lose all that?
Virginia Woolf
The very stone one kicks with one's boot will outlast Shakespeare.
Virginia Woolf
... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
Virginia Woolf
Nothing, I know, had any chance against death.
Virginia Woolf
As for my next book, I won't write it till it has grown heavy in my mind like a ripe pear pendant, gravid, asking to be cut or it will fall.
Virginia Woolf
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Illness is a part of every human being's experience. It enhances our perceptions and reduces self-consciousness. It is the great confessional things are said, truths are blurted out which health conceals.
Virginia Woolf
I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot.
Virginia Woolf
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes
Virginia Woolf
A biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many as a thousand.
Virginia Woolf
I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
Virginia Woolf
We shall be the mouthpieces of the divine spirit—
Virginia Woolf
and then he could not see her come into a room without a sense of the flowing of robes, of the flowering of blossoms, of the purple waves of the sea, of all things that are lovely and mutable on the surface but still and passionate in their heart.
Virginia Woolf
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
