More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
I enjoy almost everything. Yet I have some restless searcher in me. Why is there not a discovery in life? Something one can lay hands on and say “This is it”? My depression is a harassed feeling. I’m looking: but that’s not it — that’s not it. What is it? And shall I die before I find it?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let us record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment.
Virginia Woolf
Image
All extremes are dangerous.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I will dream today for I must unscrew my head somehow.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A veil of insanity everywhere: Oh why I was born in this age? It is a terrible age.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Above all you must illumine your own soul with its profundities and its shallows, and its vanities and its generosities, and say what your beauty means to you or your plainness, and what is your relation to the ever-changing and turning world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Language is wine upon the lips.
Virginia Woolf
Image
They say the sky is the same everywhere. Travellers, the shipwrecked, exiles, and the dying draw comfort from the thought.
Virginia Woolf
Image
if newspapers were written by people whose sole object in writing was to tell the truth about politics and the truth about art we should not believe in war, and we should believe in art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
letters are venerable and the telephone valiant, for the journey is a lonely one, and if bound together by notes and telephones we went in company, perhaps - who knows? - we might talk by the way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One should aim, seriously, at disregarding ups and downs a compliment here, silence there ... the central fact remains stable, which is the fact of my own pleasure in the art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Love had a thousand shapes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea.
