More quotes by Virginia Woolf

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.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The intellect, divine as it is, and all worshipful, has a habit of lodging in the most seedy of carcasses, and often, alas, acts the cannibal among the other faculties so that often, where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.
Virginia Woolf
Image
War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How far do our feelings take their colour from the dive underground? I mean, what is the reality of any feeling?
Virginia Woolf
Image
I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am rooted, but I flow.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once you fall, Septimus repeated to himself, human nature is on you. Holmes and Bradshaw are on you. They scour the desert. They fly screaming into the wilderness. The rack and the thumbscrew are applied. Human nature is remorseless.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Beauty was not everything. Beauty had this penalty — it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life — froze it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The way to write well is to live intensely.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Often on a wet day I begin counting up what I've read what I haven't read.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But why do I notice everything? She thought. Why must I think? She did not want to think. She wanted to force her mind to become a blank and lie back, and accept quietly, tolerantly, whatever came.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One must learn to be silent just as one must learn to talk.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The world is crammed with delightful things
Virginia Woolf
Image
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Of course, literature is the only spiritual and humane career. Even painting tends to dumness, and music turns people erotic, whereas the more you write the nicer you become.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If this were the time or the place to uphold a paradox, I am half inclined to state that Norfolk is one of the most beautiful of counties.
Virginia Woolf
Image
They came to her, naturally, since she was a woman, all day long with this and that one wanting this, another that the children were growing up she often felt she was nothing but a sponge sopped full of human emotions.
