But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.

Soup is cuisines kindest course
Virginia Woolf

Then may I tell you that the very next words I read were these – ‘Chloe liked Olivia…’ Do not start. Do not blush. Let us admit in the privacy of our own society that these things sometimes happen. Sometimes women do like women.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet. . . indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.

Facts must be manipulated some must be brightened others shaded yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.

People only become writers if they can't find the one book they've always wanted to read.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You cannot cross the narrow bridge of art carrying all its tools in your hands. Some you must leave behind.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.
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
There are no teachers, saints, prophets, good people, but the artists.
Virginia Woolf
Image
On or about December 1910, human character changed.

Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There was a star riding through clouds one night, & I said to the star, 'Consume me'.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She felt... how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For it is probable that when people talk aloud, the selves (of which there may be more than two thousand) are conscious of disserverment, and are trying to communicate but when communication is established there is nothing more to be said.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I think writing, my writing, is a species of mediumship. I become the person.

Image
The first duty of a lecturer: to hand you after an hour's discourse a nugget of pure truth to wrap up between the pages of your notebooks, and keep on the mantelpiece forever.

To be nothing - is that not, after all, the most satisfactory fact in the whole world?
