Quote

I’m not clear enough in the head to feel anything but varieties of dull anger and arrows of sadness.

Image
My mind turned by anxiety, or other cause, from its scrutiny of blank paper, is like a lost child–wandering the house, sitting on the bottom step to cry.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The mind which is most capable of receiving impressions is very often the least capable of drawing conclusions.
Virginia Woolf
Image
war is a man's game ... the killing machine has a gender and it is male.
Virginia Woolf
Image
If it were now to die, 'twere now to be most happy.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness dull, callous, and indifferent.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper than words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Be truthful, and the result is bound to be amazingly interesting.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I feel my brains, like a pear, to see if it's ripe it will be exquisite by September.
Virginia Woolf
Image
With my cheek leant upon the window pane I like to fancy that I am pressing as closely as can be upon the massy wall of time, which is forever lifting and pulling and letting fresh spaces of life in upon us. May it be mine to taste the moment before it has spread itself over the rest of the world! Let me taste the newest and the freshest.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Beauty was not everything. Beauty had this penalty — it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life — froze it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
And you wish to be a poet and you wish to be a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.
Virginia Woolf
Image
She felt drawing further from her and further from her an Archduke, (she did not mind that) a fortune, (she did not mind that) the safety and circumstance of married life, (she did not mind that) but life she heard going from her, and a lover.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Unless you catch ideas on the wing and nail them down, you will soon cease to have any.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He was a thorough good sort a bit limited a bit thick in the head yes but a thorough good sort. Whatever he took up he did in the same matter-of-fact sensible way without a touch of imagination, without a sparkle of brilliancy, but with the inexplicable niceness of his type.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Besides, in this random miscellaneous company we may rub against some complete stranger who will, with luck, turn into the best friend we have in the world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
First a warning, musical then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.
