Image
But our hatred is almost indistinguishable from our love.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The most important thing is not to think very much about oneself. To investigate candidly the charge but not fussily, not very anxiously. On no account to retaliate by going to the other extreme -- thinking too much.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I always had the deepest affection for people who carried sublime tears in their silences.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I press to my centre, and find there is something there.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is permissible even for a dying hero to think before he dies how men will speak of him hereafter. His fame lasts perhaps two thousand years. And what are two thousand years?... What, indeed, if you look from a mountain top down the long wastes of the ages? The very stone one kicks with one's boot will outlast Shakespeare.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Masterpieces are not single and solitary births they are the outcome of many years of thinking in common, of thinking by the body of the people, so that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When people are happy they have a reserve upon which to draw, whereas she was like a wheel without a tyre
Virginia Woolf
Image
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I will dream today for I must unscrew my head somehow.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing, I know, had any chance against death.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
For the young people could not talk. And why should they? Shout, embrace, swing, be up at dawn.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The world was going on as usual. All the time she was writing the world had continued.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The immense success of our life is, I think, that our treasure is hid away or rather in such common things that nothing can touch it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
if newspapers were written by people whose sole object in writing was to tell the truth about politics and the truth about art we should not believe in war, and we should believe in art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.
Virginia Woolf
