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.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
I detest the masculine point of view. I am bored by his heroism, virtue, and honour. I think the best these men can do is not talk about themselves anymore.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have sought happiness through many ages and not found it.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
Clothes are but a symbol of something hid deep beneath.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Image
loveliness is infernally sad.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?
Virginia Woolf
Image
So coming back from a journey, or after an illness, before habits had spun themselves across the surface, one felt that same unreality, which was so startling felt something emerge. Life was most vivid then.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Now begins to rise in me the familiar rhythm words that have lain dormant now lift, now toss their crests, and fall and rise, and falls again. I am a poet, yes. Surely I am a great poet.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Facts must be manipulated some must be brightened others shaded yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Friendships, even the best of them, are frail things. One drifts apart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.
Virginia Woolf
Image
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I need silence, and to be alone and to go out, and to save one hour to consider what has happened to my world, what death has done to my world.
Virginia Woolf
