Quote

For this moment, this one moment, we are together. I press you to me. Come, pain, feed on me. Bury your fangs in my flesh. Tear me asunder. I sob, I sob.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
Biography is to give a man some kind of shape after his death.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Somewhere, everywhere, now hidden, now apparent in what ever is written down, is the form of a human being. If we seek to know him, are we idly occupied?
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is the duty of the writer to describe.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
I see through most people I'm hardly ever wrong. I see at once what they've got in them.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A thousand things to be written had I time: had I power. A very little writing uses up my capacity for writing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am volatile for one, rigid for another, angular as an icicle in silver, or voluptuous as a candle flame in gold.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The eyes of others our prisons their thoughts our cages.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Different though the sexes are, they inter-mix. In every human being a vacillation from one sex to the other takes place, and often it is only the clothes that keep the male or female likeness, while underneath the sex is very opposite of what it is above.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A good essay must have this permanent quality about it it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is probable that both in life and in art the values of a woman are not the values of a man.
Virginia Woolf
Image
All great writers have, of course, an atmosphere in which they seem most at their ease and at their best a mood of the general mind which they interpret and indeed almost discover, so that we come to read them rather for that than for any story or character or scene of seperate excellence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Henry James seems most entirely in his element, doing that is to say what everything favors his doing, when it is a question of recollection. The mellow light which swims over the past, the beauty which suffuses even the commonest little figures of that
Virginia Woolf
Image
She was like a crinkled poppy with the desire to drink dry dust.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Brooding, she changed the pool into the sea, and made the minnows into sharks and whales, and cast vast clouds over this tiny world by holding her hand against the sun, and so brought darkness and desolation, like God himself, to millions of ignorant and innocent creatures, and then took her hand away suddenly and let the sun stream down.
