More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.
Virginia Woolf
Criticism? An artist wants praise. Praise.
Virginia Woolf
If we didn't live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.
Virginia Woolf
A perfect treat must include a trip to a second-hand bookshop.
Virginia Woolf
We insist, it seems, on living.
Virginia Woolf
He looked very old. He looked, James thought, getting his head now against the Lighthouse, now against the waste of waters running away into the open, like some old stone lying on the sand he looked as if he had become physically what was always at the back of both of their minds-that loneliness which was for both of them the truth about things.
Virginia Woolf
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Virginia Woolf
One wanted, she thought, dipping her brush deliberately, to be on a level with ordinary experience, to feel simply that's a chair, that's a table, and yet at the same time, It's a miracle, it's an ecstasy.
Virginia Woolf
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
These moments of escape are not to be despised. They come too seldom.
Virginia Woolf
A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
Virginia Woolf
I am all the time thinking about poetry and fiction and you.
Virginia Woolf
Why is life so tragic so like a little strip of pavement over an abyss. I look down I feel giddy I wonder how I am ever to walk to the end.
Virginia Woolf
For love... has two faces one white, the other black two bodies one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together
Virginia Woolf
more and more I come to loathe any dominion of one over another any leadership, any imposition of the will.
Virginia Woolf
The profound difference that divides the human race is a question of bait - whether to fish with worms or not.
Virginia Woolf
I am rooted, but I flow.
Virginia Woolf
I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh.
Virginia Woolf
