More quotes by 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
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
Life would split apart without letters.
Virginia Woolf
For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.
Virginia Woolf
fishing teaches a stern morality inculcates a remorseless honesty.
Virginia Woolf
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Virginia Woolf
The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mould of the body and mind entire.
Virginia Woolf
All this pitting of sex against sex, of quality against quality all this claiming of superiority and imputing of inferiority belong to the private-school stage of human existence where there are sides, and it is necessary for one side to beat another side.
Virginia Woolf
[Ulysses is] the work of a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples.
Virginia Woolf
... the public and the private worlds are inseparably connected ... the tyrannies and servilities of the one are the tyrannies and servilities of the other.
Virginia Woolf
I am volatile for one, rigid for another, angular as an icicle in silver, or voluptuous as a candle flame in gold.
Virginia Woolf
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
And now more than anything I want beautiful prose. I relish it more and more exquisitely.
Virginia Woolf
It's my choice, to choose how to live my life.
Virginia Woolf
Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
Virginia Woolf
No, I'm not clever. I've always cared more for people than for ideas.
Virginia Woolf
Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world's view of us.
Virginia Woolf
One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats - and one always secretes too much jelly.
Virginia Woolf
It is no use trying to sum people up.
Virginia Woolf
I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
Virginia Woolf
