Theories then are dangerous things.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Literature is no one’s private ground, literature is common ground let us trespass freely and fearlessly and find our own way for ourselves.
Virginia Woolf
Image
O friendship, I too will press flowers between the pages of Shakespeare's sonnets!
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why is life so tragic so like a little strip of pavement over an abyss. I look down I feel giddy I wonder how I am ever to walk to the end.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Among the tortures and devestations of life is this then - our friends are not able to finish their stories.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
I was so pleased and excited by your letter that I trotted about all day like a puppy with a bone.
Virginia Woolf

What has praise and fame to do with poetry? Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice? So that all this chatter and praise, and blame and meeting people who admired one and meeting people who did not admire one was as ill suited as could be to the thing itself- a voice answering a voice.
Virginia Woolf
Image
By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream
Virginia Woolf
Image
She felt... how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
Image
He lay on his chair with his hands clasped above his paunch not reading, or sleeping, but basking like a creature gorged with existence.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
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.

Writing is a divine art, and the more I write and read the more I love it.
