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
Image
And again she felt alone in the presence of her old antagonist, life.
Virginia Woolf

But he could not taste, he could not feel. In the teashop among the tables and the chattering waiters the appalling fear came over him- he could not feel. He could reason he could read, Dante for example, quite easily…he could add up his bill his brain was perfect it must be the fault of the world then- that he could not feel.

Virginia Woolf
Image

A perfect treat must include a trip to a second-hand bookshop.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel that by writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else.
Virginia Woolf

Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf

For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Only longing can fill with more of itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For there is a virtue in truth it has an almost mystic power. Like radium, it seems to give off forever and ever grains of energy, atoms of light.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let us record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
. . . to walk alone in London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf

Consolation for those moments when you can't tell whether you're the divinest genius or the greatest fool in the world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The hatchet must fall on the block the oak must be cleft to the centre. The weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here is the pen and the paper on the letters in the wire basket I sign my name, I, I, and again I.
