Quote

Love ought to stop on both sides, don’t you think, simultaneously?’ He spoke without any stress on the words, so as not to wake the sleepers. ‘But it won’t - that’s the devil,’ he added in the same undertone.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am reading Henry James...and feel myself as one entombed in a block of smooth amber.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How lovely goodness is in those who, stepping lightly, go smiling through the world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We insist, it seems, on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I need silence, and to be alone and to go out, and to save one hour to consider what has happened to my world, what death has done to my world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was a miserable machine, an inefficient machine, she thought, the human apparatus for painting or for feeling it always broke down at the critical moment heroically, one must force it on.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A light here required a shadow there.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Oh, but she never wanted James to grow a day older or Cam either. These two she would have liked to keep for ever just as the way they were, demons of wickedness, angels of delight, never to see them grow up into long-legged monsters.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life's bare as a bone.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The world wavered and quivered and threatened to burst into flames.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When she read just now to James, 'and there were numbers of soldiers with kettledrums and trumpets,' and his eyes darkened, she thought, why should they grow up, and lose all that?
