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.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf
And now more than anything I want beautiful prose. I relish it more and more exquisitely.
Virginia Woolf
It rasped her, though, to have stirring about in her this brutal monster! to hear twigs cracking and feel hooves planted down in the depths of that leaf-encumbered forest, the soul never to be content quite, or quite secure, for at any moment the brute would be stirring, this hatred.
Virginia Woolf
The telephone, which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations, has a romance of its own.
Virginia Woolf
For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.
Virginia Woolf
I was always going to the bookcase for another sip of the divine specific.
Virginia Woolf
This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.
Virginia Woolf
The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.
Virginia Woolf
My notion's to think of the human beings first and let the abstract ideas take care of themselves.
Virginia Woolf
But I think I’m coloured by my own wishes, & experimental mood.
Virginia Woolf
For books continue each other, in spite of our habit of judging them separately.
Virginia Woolf
Henry James seems most entirely in his element, doing that is to say what everything favors his doing, when it is a question of recollection. The mellow light which swims over the past, the beauty which suffuses even the commonest little figures of that
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
It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.
Virginia Woolf
I do not want to be admired. I want to give, to be given, and solitude in which to unfold my possessions.
Virginia Woolf
Communication is truth communication is happiness. To share is our duty to go down boldly and bring to light those hidden thoughts which are the most diseased to conceal nothing to pretend nothing if we are ignorant to say so if we love our friends to let them know it.
Virginia Woolf
But the close withdrew: the hand softened. It was over-- the moment.
Virginia Woolf
As a woman, I have no country
Virginia Woolf
All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made.
Virginia Woolf
A writer should give direct certainty explanations are so much water poured into the wine.
Virginia Woolf
Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf
