Image
All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is impossible for human beings, constituted as they are, both to fight and to have ideals.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The real novelist, the perfectly simple human being, could go on, indefinitely imaging.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once.
Virginia Woolf
Image
First a warning, musical then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She was like a crinkled poppy with the desire to drink dry dust.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have had my vision.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored by his heroism, virtue, and honour. I think the best these men can do is not talk about themselves anymore.
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
The weight of the world is on our shoulders, its vision is through our eyes if we blink or look aside, or turn back to finger what Plato said or remember Napoleon and his conquests, we inflict on the world the injury of some obliquity. This is life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is...at last, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Love had a thousand shapes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
My notion's to think of the human beings first and let the abstract ideas take care of themselves.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.
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
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
Use words that soak up life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The best letters of our time are precisely those that can never be published.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She fell into a deep pool of sticky water, which eventually closed over her head. She saw nothing and heard nothing but a faint booming sound, which was the sound of the sea rolling over her head. While all her tormentors thought that she was dead, she was not dead, but curled up at the bottom of the sea.
