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
Image
what she loved: life, London, this moment of june.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... I doubt the capacity of the human animal for being dignified in ceremony.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There can be no two opinions as to what a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of thoroughbred intelligence who rides his mind at a gallop across country in pursuit of an idea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When the shriveled skin of the ordinary is stuffed out with meaning, it satisfies the senses amazingly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Habits and customs are a convenience devised for the support of timid natures who dare not allow their souls free play.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball
Virginia Woolf
Image
There was no freedom in life, and certainly there was none in death.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
Image
What has praise and fame to do with poetry? Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice? So that all this chatter and praise, and blame and meeting people who admired one and meeting people who did not admire one was as ill suited as could be to the thing itself- a voice answering a voice.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was strange to think that all the great women of fiction were, until Jane Austen's day, not only seen by the other sex, but seen only in relation to the other sex. And how small a part of woman's life is that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is a sadness at the back of life which some people do not attempt to mitigate. Entirely aware of their own standing in the shadow, and yet alive to every tremor and gleam of existence, there they endure.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To whom can I expose the urgency of my own passion?…There is nobody—here among these grey arches, and moaning pigeons, and cheerful games and tradition and emulation, all so skilfully organised to prevent feeling alone.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is probable that both in life and in art the values of a woman are not the values of a man.
Virginia Woolf
Image
So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body.
Virginia Woolf
Image
With twice his wits, she had to see things through his eyes -- one of the tragedies of married life.
