Lies will flow from my lips, but there may perhaps be some truth mixed up with them.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For if Chloe likes Olivia and Mary Carmichael knows how to express it she will light a torch in that vast chamber where nobody has yet been.
Virginia Woolf
Image
scarcely a human being in the course of history has fallen to a woman's rifle the vast majority of birds and beasts have been killed by you, not by us. Obviously there is for you some glory, some necessity, some satisfaction in fighting which we have never felt or enjoyed.
Virginia Woolf

At 46 one must be a miser only have time for essentials.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure--pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life would split apart without letters.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For beyond the difficulty of communicating oneself, there is the supreme difficulty of being oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
History is too much about wars biography too much about great men.
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
I mean it's the writing, not the being read, that excites me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One must love everything.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Moments like this are buds on the tree of life. Flowers of darkness they are.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Tom's great yellow bronze mask all draped upon an iron framework. An inhibited, nerve-drawn dropped face - as if hung on a scaffold of heavy private brooding and thought.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was a silly, silly dream, being unhappy.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But what is more to the point is my belief that the habit of writing thus for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Never mind the misses and the stumbles.
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

The truer the facts the better the fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Speech is an old torn net, through which the fish escape as one casts it over them.
