The future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be, I think.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many as a thousand.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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.

I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married
Virginia Woolf

Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.
Virginia Woolf

We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
Love had a thousand shapes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Illness is a part of every human being's experience. It enhances our perceptions and reduces self-consciousness. It is the great confessional things are said, truths are blurted out which health conceals.
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
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through.
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
If this were the time or the place to uphold a paradox, I am half inclined to state that Norfolk is one of the most beautiful of counties.
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
To enjoy freedom ... we have of course to control ourselves. We must not squander our powers, helplessly and ignorantly, squirting half the house in order to water a single rose.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O how blessed it would be never to marry, or grow old but to spend one's life innocently and indifferently among the trees and rivers which alone can keep one cool and childlike in the midst of the troubles of the world!
Virginia Woolf
Image
When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook—a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.

Her life-that was the only chance she had-the short season between two silences.
