More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.
Virginia Woolf
All artists need a room of their own
Virginia Woolf
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
For once the disease of reading has laid upon the system it weakens so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing.
Virginia Woolf
All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds.
Virginia Woolf
To read a novel is a difficult and complex art. You must be capable not only of great fineness of perception, but of great boldness of imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Am I alone in my egotism when I say that never does the pale light of dawn filter through the blinds of 52 Tavistock Square but I open my eyes and exclaim, Good God! Here I am again! not always with pleasure, often with pain sometimes in a spasm.
Virginia Woolf
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
By the truth we are undone. Life is a dream. 'Tis the waking that kills us. He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.
Virginia Woolf
Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover seeds of truth.
Virginia Woolf
Surely it was time someone invented a new plot, or that the author came out from the bushes.
Virginia Woolf
We [women] have borne and bred and washed and taught, perhaps to the age of six or seven years, the one thousand six hundred and twenty-three million human beings who are, according to statistics, at present in existence, and that ... takes time.
Virginia Woolf
It is no use trying to sum people up.
Virginia Woolf
What a labour writing is ... making one sentence do the work of a page that's what I call hard work.
Virginia Woolf
Lies will flow from my lips, but there may perhaps be some truth mixed up with them.
Virginia Woolf
At last she shut the book sharply, lay back, and drew a deep breath, expressive of the wonder which always marks the transition from the imaginary world to the real world.
Virginia Woolf
It is strange how a scrap of poetry works in the mind and makes the legs move in time to it along the road.
Virginia Woolf
A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning.
Virginia Woolf
She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through.
Virginia Woolf
Like most uneducated Englishwomen, I like reading--I like reading books in the bulk.
Virginia Woolf
