Quote

She dares me to pour myself out like a living waterfall. She dares me to enter the soul that is more than my own she extinguishes fear in mere seconds. She lets light come through.

Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
Image
His eyes were bright, and, indeed, he scarcely knew whether they held dreams or realities...and in five minutes she had filled the shell of the old dream with the flesh of life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why have I so little control? It is the case of much waste and pain in my life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But what is more to the point is my belief that the habit of writing thus for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Never mind the misses and the stumbles.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?
Virginia Woolf
Image
For the film maker must come by his convention, as painters and writers and musicians have done before him.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The chief glory of a woman is not to be talked of, said Pericles, himself a much-talked-of-man.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A feminist is any woman who tells the truth about her life
Virginia Woolf
Image
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
All great writers have, of course, an atmosphere in which they seem most at their ease and at their best a mood of the general mind which they interpret and indeed almost discover, so that we come to read them rather for that than for any story or character or scene of seperate excellence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Style is a very simple matter it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can't use the wrong words.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How far we are going to read a poet when we can read about a poet is a problem to lay before biographers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
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
Her life-that was the only chance she had-the short season between two silences.
Virginia Woolf
Image
That would be a glorious life, to addict oneself to perfection to follow the curve of the sentence wherever it might lead, into deserts, under drifts of sand, regardless of lures, of seductions to be poor always and unkempt to be ridiculous in Piccadilly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The weather varies between heavy fog and pale sunshine My thoughts follow the exact same process.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It was as if someone had taken a tiny bead of pure life and decking it as lightly as possible with down and feathers, had set it dancing and zigzagging to show us the true nature of life.
Virginia Woolf
