More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Ruin, weariness, death, perpetually death, stand grimly to confront the other presence of Elizabethan drama which is life: life compact of frigates, fir trees and ivory, of dolphins and the juice of July flowers, of the milk of unicorns and panthers’ breath, of ropes of pearl, brains of peacocks and Cretan wine.
Virginia Woolf
She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.
Virginia Woolf
It is the duty of the writer to describe.
Virginia Woolf
A good essay must have this permanent quality about it it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
Virginia Woolf
She felt drawing further from her and further from her an Archduke, (she did not mind that) a fortune, (she did not mind that) the safety and circumstance of married life, (she did not mind that) but life she heard going from her, and a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
Virginia Woolf
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure--pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.
Virginia Woolf
One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with one's words.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
For the eye has this strange property: it rests only on beauty.
Virginia Woolf
The best letters of our time are precisely those that can never be published.
Virginia Woolf
I am not so gifted as at one time seemed likely.
Virginia Woolf
As I grow old I hate the writing of letters more and more, and like getting them better and better.
Virginia Woolf
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
Wat a vast fertility of pleasure books hold for me! I went in and found the table laden with books. I looked in and sniffed them all. I could not resist carrying this one off and broaching it. I think I could happily live here and read forever.
Virginia Woolf
I am rooted, but I flow.
Virginia Woolf
