More quotes by Virginia Woolf
But Time, unfortunately, though it makes animals and vegetables bloom and fade with amazing punctuality has no such simple effect upon the mind of man.
Virginia Woolf
His eyes were bright, and, indeed, he scarcely knew whether they held dreams or realities...and in five minutes she had filled the shell of the old dream with the flesh of life.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Women have burnt like beacons in all the works of all the poets from the beginning of time.
Virginia Woolf
To make ideas effective, we must be able to fire them off. We must put them into action.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf
Marvelous are the innocent.
Virginia Woolf
We live in constant danger of coming apart. The mystery of why we do not always come apart is the animating tension of all art.
Virginia Woolf
A perfect treat must include a trip to a second-hand bookshop.
Virginia Woolf
and then he could not see her come into a room without a sense of the flowing of robes, of the flowering of blossoms, of the purple waves of the sea, of all things that are lovely and mutable on the surface but still and passionate in their heart.
Virginia Woolf
What does the brain matter compared with the heart?
Virginia Woolf
Moments like this are buds on the tree of life. Flowers of darkness they are.
Virginia Woolf
I have sought happiness through many ages and not found it.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.
Virginia Woolf
One should aim, seriously, at disregarding ups and downs a compliment here, silence there ... the central fact remains stable, which is the fact of my own pleasure in the art.
Virginia Woolf
