More quotes by Virginia Woolf
My notion's to think of the human beings first and let the abstract ideas take care of themselves.
Virginia Woolf
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Virginia Woolf
I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another.
Virginia Woolf
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
All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.
Virginia Woolf
It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.
Virginia Woolf
Ruin, weariness, death, perpetually death, stand grimly to confront the other presence of Elizabethan drama which is life: life compact of frigates, fir trees and ivory, of dolphins and the juice of July flowers, of the milk of unicorns and panthers’ breath, of ropes of pearl, brains of peacocks and Cretan wine.
Virginia Woolf
What is meant by reality? It would seem to be something very erratic, very undependable - now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying
Virginia Woolf
There is the strange power we have of changing facts by the force of the imagination.
Virginia Woolf
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
Why does one write these books after all? The drudgery, the misery, the grind, are forgotten everytime and one launches another, and it seems sheer joy and buoyancy.
Virginia Woolf
When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook—a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.
Virginia Woolf
No, I'm not clever. I've always cared more for people than for ideas.
Virginia Woolf
Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment.
Virginia Woolf
A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning.
Virginia Woolf
I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists the reality of everything.
Virginia Woolf
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
I am all the time thinking about poetry and fiction and you.
Virginia Woolf
It is impossible for human beings, constituted as they are, both to fight and to have ideals.
Virginia Woolf
The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think.
Virginia Woolf
