More quotes by Virginia Woolf
what she loved: life, London, this moment of june.
Virginia Woolf
Once she knows how to read there's only one thing you can teach her to believe in and that is herself.
Virginia Woolf
Different though the sexes are, they inter-mix. In every human being a vacillation from one sex to the other takes place, and often it is only the clothes that keep the male or female likeness, while underneath the sex is very opposite of what it is above.
Virginia Woolf
Theories then are dangerous things.
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
So that is marriage, Lily thought, a man and a woman looking at a girl throwing a ball
Virginia Woolf
Speech is an old torn net, through which the fish escape as one casts it over them.
Virginia Woolf
The cold stream of visual impressions failed him now as if the eye were a cup that overflowed and let the rest run down its china walls unrecorded.
Virginia Woolf
to teach without zest is a crime.
Virginia Woolf
It was a silly, silly dream, being unhappy.
Virginia Woolf
Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.
Virginia Woolf
Her only gift was knowing people almost by instinct, she thought, walking on. If you put her in a room with someone, up went her back like a cat's or she purred.
Virginia Woolf
Habits and customs are a convenience devised for the support of timid natures who dare not allow their souls free play.
Virginia Woolf
It is probable that both in life and in art the values of a woman are not the values of a man.
Virginia Woolf
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
To enjoy freedom ... we have of course to control ourselves. We must not squander our powers, helplessly and ignorantly, squirting half the house in order to water a single rose.
Virginia Woolf
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Virginia Woolf
Our friends - how distant, how mute, how seldom visited and little known. And I, too, am dim to my friends and unknown a phantom, sometimes seen, often not. Life is a dream surely.
Virginia Woolf
He called her a melon, a pineapple, an olive tree, an emerald, and a fox in the snow all in the space of three seconds he did not know whether he had heard her, tasted her, seen her, or all three together.
Virginia Woolf
At 46 one must be a miser only have time for essentials.
Virginia Woolf
