Quote

Tom's great yellow bronze mask all draped upon an iron framework. An inhibited, nerve-drawn dropped face - as if hung on a scaffold of heavy private brooding and thought.
Virginia Woolf
Image
This is not writing at all. Indeed, I could say that Shakespeare surpasses literature altogether, if I knew what I meant.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For beyond the difficulty of communicating oneself, there is the supreme difficulty of being oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
Alone, condemned, deserted, as those who are about to die are alone, there was a luxury in it, an isolation full of sublimity a freedom which the attached can never know
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Literature is no one’s private ground, literature is common ground let us trespass freely and fearlessly and find our own way for ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
After that, how unbelievable death was! - that is must end and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was strange to think that all the great women of fiction were, until Jane Austen's day, not only seen by the other sex, but seen only in relation to the other sex. And how small a part of woman's life is that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The human frame being what it is, heart, body and brain all mixed together, and not contained in separate compartments as they will be no doubt in another million years, a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.
Virginia Woolf
Image
On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What has praise and fame to do with poetry? Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice? So that all this chatter and praise, and blame and meeting people who admired one and meeting people who did not admire one was as ill suited as could be to the thing itself- a voice answering a voice.
