More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Life's bare as a bone.
Virginia Woolf
The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.
Virginia Woolf
Why, he wondered, did people who had been asleep always want to make out that they were extremely wide-awake?
Virginia Woolf
When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.
Virginia Woolf
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
Virginia Woolf
There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to begin (at 40) to say something in my own voice.
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
To be silent to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others.
Virginia Woolf
Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world's view of us.
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
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
Happily, at forty-six I still feel as experimental and on the verge of getting at the truth as ever.
Virginia Woolf
Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing.
Virginia Woolf
She thought there were no Gods no one was to blame and so she evolved this atheist's religion of doing good for the sake of goodness.
Virginia Woolf
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.
Virginia Woolf
I am overwhelmed with things I ought to have written about and never found the proper words.
Virginia Woolf
No, I'm not clever. I've always cared more for people than for ideas.
Virginia Woolf
Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.
Virginia Woolf
What could be more serious than the love of man for woman, what more commanding, more impressive, bearing in its bosom the seeds of death at the same time these lovers, these people entering into illusion glittering eyed, must be danced round with mockery, decorated with garlands.
Virginia Woolf
In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows.
Virginia Woolf
