More quotes by Virginia Woolf
For it is a curious fact that though human beings have such imperfect means of communication, that they can only say 'good to eat' when they mean 'beautiful' and the other way about, they will yet endure ridicule and misunderstanding rather than keep any experience to themselves.
Virginia Woolf
The spring without a leaf to toss, bare and bright like a virgin fierce in her chastity, scornful in her purity, was laid out on fields wide-eyed and watchful and entirely careless of what was done or thought by the beholders.
Virginia Woolf
I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness.
Virginia Woolf
On or about December 1910, human character changed.
Virginia Woolf
One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with one's words.
Virginia Woolf
Young women... you are, in my opinion, disgracefully ignorant. You have never made a discovery of any sort of importance. You have never shaken an empire or led an army into battle. The plays by Shakespeare are not by you, and you have never introduced a barbarous race to the blessings of civilization. What is your excuse?
Virginia Woolf
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
Boredom is the legitimate kingdom of the philanthropic.
Virginia Woolf
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia Woolf
In marriage a little licence, a little independence there must be between people living together day in and day out in the same house.
Virginia Woolf
Incessant company is as bad as solitary confinement.
Virginia Woolf
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre
Virginia Woolf
I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married
Virginia Woolf
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf
Ransack the language as he might, words failed him. He wanted another landscape, and another tongue.
Virginia Woolf
One must love everything.
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
A sort of transaction went on between them, in which she was on one side, and life was on another, and she was always trying to get the better of it, as it was of her.
Virginia Woolf
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
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
