Literature is no one’s private ground, literature is common ground let us trespass freely and fearlessly and find our own way for ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf
Image
letters are venerable and the telephone valiant, for the journey is a lonely one, and if bound together by notes and telephones we went in company, perhaps - who knows? - we might talk by the way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Doesn't one always think of the past, in a garden with men and women lying under the trees? Aren't they one's past, all that remains of it, those men and women, those ghosts lying under the trees ... one's happiness, one's reality?
Virginia Woolf
Image
For if Chloe likes Olivia and Mary Carmichael knows how to express it she will light a torch in that vast chamber where nobody has yet been.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.
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
There are no teachers, saints, prophets, good people, but the artists.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
madam, the man cried, leaping to the ground, you're hurt! I'm dead, sir! she replied. A few minutes later, they became engaged.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O friendship, I too will press flowers between the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets!
Virginia Woolf
Image
I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities?
Virginia Woolf
Image
writing is the profound pleasure and being read the superficial.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?
Virginia Woolf
Image
more and more I come to loathe any dominion of one over another any leadership, any imposition of the will.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Most of a modest woman's life was spent, after all, in denying what, in one day at least of every year, was made obvious.

Mrs Dalloway is always giving parties to cover the silence
