More quotes by Virginia Woolf
It was the intimacy, a sort of spiritual suppleness, when mind prints upon mind indelibly.
Virginia Woolf
On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.
Virginia Woolf
Peter would think her sentimental. So she was. For she had come to feel that it was the only thing worth saying – what one felt. Cleverness was silly. One must say simply what one felt.
Virginia Woolf
For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.
Virginia Woolf
Communication is truth communication is happiness. To share is our duty to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased to conceal nothing to pretend nothing if we are ignorant to say so if we love our friends to let them know it.
Virginia Woolf
But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing.
Virginia Woolf
Use words that soak up life.
Virginia Woolf
Madness is terrific I can assure you, and not to be sniffed at and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about. It shoots out of one everything shaped, final, not in mere driblets, as sanity does.
Virginia Woolf
Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.
Virginia Woolf
So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball
Virginia Woolf
There is the strange power we have of changing facts by the force of the imagination.
Virginia Woolf
A perfect treat must include a trip to a second-hand bookshop.
Virginia Woolf
And you wish to be a poet and you wish to be a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Travelers are much at the mercy of phrases ... vast generalizations formulate in their exposed brains.
Virginia Woolf
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
I really don't advise a woman who wants to have things her own way to get married
Virginia Woolf
We are the words we are the music we are the thing itself.
Virginia Woolf
The root of things, what they were all afraid of saying, was that happiness is dirt cheap. You can have it for nothing. Beauty.
Virginia Woolf
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
