Image
One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats - and one always secretes too much jelly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life would split apart without letters.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She fell into a deep pool of sticky water, which eventually closed over her head. She saw nothing and heard nothing but a faint booming sound, which was the sound of the sea rolling over her head. While all her tormentors thought that she was dead, she was not dead, but curled up at the bottom of the sea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The hatchet must fall on the block the oak must be cleft to the centre. The weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here is the pen and the paper on the letters in the wire basket I sign my name, I, I, and again I.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is something I want-something I have come to get, and she fell deeper and deeper without knowing quite what it was, with her eyes closed.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?
Virginia Woolf
Image
The profound difference that divides the human race is a question of bait - whether to fish with worms or not.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Tell me, he wanted to say, everything in the whole world - for he had the wildest, most absurd, extravagant ideas about poets and poetry - but how to speak to a man who does not see you? who sees ogres, satyrs, perhaps the depth of the sea instead?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let us not take for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is from the middle class that writers spring, because, it is in the middle class only that the practice of writing is as natural and habitual as hoeing a field or building a house.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Love had a thousand shapes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A thousand things to be written had I time: had I power. A very little writing uses up my capacity for writing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It rasped her, though, to have stirring about in her this brutal monster! to hear twigs cracking and feel hooves planted down in the depths of that leaf-encumbered forest, the soul never to be content quite, or quite secure, for at any moment the brute would be stirring, this hatred.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But beauty must be broken daily to remain beautiful.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Indeed there has never been any explanation of the ebb and flow in our veins--of happiness and unhappiness.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing shakes my opinion of a book. Nothing -- nothing. Only perhaps if it's the book of a young person -- or of a friend -- no, even so, I think myself infallible.
