madam, the man cried, leaping to the ground, you're hurt! I'm dead, sir! she replied. A few minutes later, they became engaged.

Marvelous are the innocent.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We insist, it seems, on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them. They are not even now as concerned about the health of their fame as men are, and, speaking generally, will pass a tombstone or a signpost without feeling an irresistible desire to cut their names on it.
Virginia Woolf

The world has raised its whip where will it descend?
Virginia Woolf
Image
The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think.
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 am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never did anybody look so sad. Bitter and black, halfway down, in the darkness, in the shaft which ran from the sunlight to the depths, perhaps a tear formed a tear fell the waves swayed this way and that, received it, and were at rest. Never did anybody look so sad.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But what is more to the point is my belief that the habit of writing thus for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Never mind the misses and the stumbles.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I'm terrified of passive acquiescence. I live in intensity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to begin (at 40) to say something in my own voice.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The cold stream of visual impressions failed him now as if the eye were a cup that overflowed and let the rest run down its china walls unrecorded.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Melancholy were the sounds on a winter's night.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To let oneself be carried on passively is unthinkable.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One should be a painter. As a writer, I feel the beauty, which is almost entirely colour, very subtle, very changeable, running over my pen, as if you poured a large jug of champagne over a hairpin.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The mind which is most capable of receiving impressions is very often the least capable of drawing conclusions.
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.

We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.
Virginia Woolf
