Quote

Our friends - how distant, how mute, how seldom visited and little known. And I, too, am dim to my friends and unknown a phantom, sometimes seen, often not. Life is a dream surely.

Image
I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you're everything that exists the reality of everything.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole. This wholeness means that it has lost its power to hurt me it gives me, perhaps because by doing so I take away the pain, a great delight to put the severed parts together
Virginia Woolf
Image
... the random talk of people who have no chance of immortality and thus can speak their minds out has a setting, often, of lights, streets, houses, human beings, beautiful or grotesque, which will weave itself into the moment for ever.
Virginia Woolf

Books are the mirrors of the soul.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If we face the fact, for it is a fact, that there is no arm to cling to, but that we go alone and that our relation is to the world of reality and not only to the world of men and women.
Virginia Woolf
Image
London perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play and a story and a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets... To walk alone through London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover seeds of truth.
Virginia Woolf
Image
And yet, the only exciting life is the imaginary one.
Virginia Woolf
Image
My mind turned by anxiety, or other cause, from its scrutiny of blank paper, is like a lost child–wandering the house, sitting on the bottom step to cry.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is something about the present which we would not exchange, though we were offered a choice of all past ages to live in.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel my brains, like a pear, to see if it's ripe it will be exquisite by September.
Virginia Woolf
Image
By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am tied down with single words. But you wander off you slip away you rise up higher, with words and words in phrases.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
Image
... the transaction between a writer and the spirit of the age is one of infinite delicacy, and upon a nice arrangement between the two the whole fortune of his works depend.
Virginia Woolf
