More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand.
Virginia Woolf
To depend upon a profession is a less odious form of slavery than to depend upon a father.
Virginia Woolf
People only become writers if they can't find the one book they've always wanted to read.
Virginia Woolf
Why have I so little control? It is the case of much waste and pain in my life.
Virginia Woolf
I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.
Virginia Woolf
A feminist is any woman who tells the truth about her life
Virginia Woolf
Life stand still here.
Virginia Woolf
[Final diary entry:] Occupation is essential. And now with some pleasure I find that it's seven and must cook dinner. Haddock and sausage meat. I think it is true that one gains a certain hold on sausage and haddock by writing them down.
Virginia Woolf
I am not so gifted as at one time seemed likely.
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
The spring without a leaf to toss, bare and bright like a virgin fierce in her chastity, scornful in her purity, was laid out on fields wide-eyed and watchful and entirely careless of what was done or thought by the beholders.
Virginia Woolf
I am to be broken. I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.
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
Does Nature supplement what man advanced? Or does she complete what he began?
Virginia Woolf
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
The sigh of all the seas breaking in measure round the isles soothed them the night wrapped them nothing broke their sleep, until, the birds beginning and the dawn weaving their thin voices in to its whiteness
Virginia Woolf
What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once.
Virginia Woolf
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
But then anyone who's worth anything reads just what he likes, as the mood takes him, and with extravagant enthusiasm.
Virginia Woolf
London perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play and a story and a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets... To walk alone through London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
