More quotes by Virginia Woolf
What is this terror? what is this ecstasy? he thought to himself. What is it that fills me with this extraordinary excitement? It is Clarissa, he said. For there she was.
Virginia Woolf
Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.
Virginia Woolf
But our hatred is almost indistinguishable from our love.
Virginia Woolf
A veil of insanity everywhere: Oh why I was born in this age? It is a terrible age.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
I think writing, my writing, is a species of mediumship. I become the person.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
To know whom to write for is to know how to write.
Virginia Woolf
No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes
Virginia Woolf
The compensation of growing old ... was simply this that the passion remains as strong as ever, but one has gained -- at last! -- the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence -- the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light.
Virginia Woolf
To communicate is our chief business society and friendship our chief delights and reading, not to acquire knowledge, not to earn a living, but to extend our intercourse beyond our own time and province.
Virginia Woolf
Would there be trees if we didn't see them?
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once.
Virginia Woolf
It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.
Virginia Woolf
I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls.
Virginia Woolf
To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
