Quote

Night had come—night that she loved of all times, night in which the reflections in the dark pool of the mind shine more clearly than by day.

I feel all shadows of the universe multiplied deep inside my skin.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He lay on his chair with his hands clasped above his paunch not reading, or sleeping, but basking like a creature gorged with existence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mould of the body and mind entire.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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

Virginia Woolf
Image
The depths of the sea are only water after all.
Virginia Woolf
Image
As an experience, madness is terrific ... and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about.
Virginia Woolf
Image
As for my next book, I won't write it till it has grown heavy in my mind like a ripe pear pendant, gravid, asking to be cut or it will fall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole. This wholeness means that it has lost its power to hurt me it gives me, perhaps because by doing so I take away the pain, a great delight to put the severed parts together
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
O why do I ever let anyone read what I write! Every time I have to go through a breakfast with a letter of criticism I swear I will write for my own praise or blame in future. It is a misery.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One should be a painter. As a writer, I feel the beauty, which is almost entirely colour, very subtle, very changeable, running over my pen, as if you poured a large jug of champagne over a hairpin.
Virginia Woolf
Image
First a warning, musical then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know ... I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.
Virginia Woolf
Image
to write a novel in the heart of London is next to an impossibility. I feel as if I were nailing a flag to the top of a mast in a raging gale.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Those comfortably padded lunatic asylums which are known, euphemistically, as the stately homes of England.
