More quotes by Virginia Woolf
The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it.
Virginia Woolf
And you wish to be a poet and you wish to be a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact the fertile fact the fact that suggests and engenders.
Virginia Woolf
To communicate is our chief business society and friendship our chief delights and reading, not to acquire knowledge, not to earn a living, but to extend our intercourse beyond our own time and province.
Virginia Woolf
All extremes are dangerous.
Virginia Woolf
Like a ghostly roll of drums remorselessly beat the measure of life.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
It is no use trying to sum people up.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
what she loved: life, London, this moment of june.
Virginia Woolf
Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.
Virginia Woolf
No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high.
Virginia Woolf
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.
Virginia Woolf
We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
One can only believe entirely, perhaps, in what one cannot see.
Virginia Woolf
To put it in a nutshell, he was afflicted with a love of literature. It was the fatal nature of this disease to substitute a phantom for reality.
Virginia Woolf
