Quote

Fear no more, says the heart, committing its burden to some sea, which sighs collectively for all sorrows, and renews, begins, collects, lets fall

More quotes by 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
About here, she thought, dabbling her fingers in the water, a ship had sunk, and she muttered, dreamily half asleep, how we perished, each alone.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I ride rough waters, and shall sink with no one to save me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing shakes my opinion of a book. Nothing -- nothing. Only perhaps if it's the book of a young person -- or of a friend -- no, even so, I think myself infallible.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I attain a different kind of beauty, achieve a symmetry by means of infinite discords, showing all the traces of the mind's passage through the world, achieve in the end some kind of whole made of shivering fragments.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married
Virginia Woolf
Image
The artist after all is a solitary being.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How far we are going to read a poet when we can read about a poet is a problem to lay before biographers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life would split apart without letters.
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
If only she could put them together, she felt, write them out in some sentence, then she would have got at the truth of things.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The thing about Proust is his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity. He searches out these butterfly shades to the last grain. He is as tough as catgut and as evanescent as a butterfly's bloom.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For the young people could not talk. And why should they? Shout, embrace, swing, be up at dawn.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Praise and blame alike mean nothing. No, delightful as the pastime of measuring may be, it is the most futile of all occupations, and to submit to the decrees of the measurers the most servile of attitudes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.
