More quotes by 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
A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it's there complete in the mind, if only at the back.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world. Both houses will be ruined, the public and the private, the material and the spiritual, for they are inseparably connected.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Still, the sun was hot. Still, one got over things. Still, life had a way of adding day to day
Virginia Woolf
Image
Just in case you ever foolishly forget I'm never not thinking of you
Virginia Woolf
Image
Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am overwhelmed with things I ought to have written about and never found the proper words.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Illness is a part of every human being's experience. It enhances our perceptions and reduces self-consciousness. It is the great confessional things are said, truths are blurted out which health conceals.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... if we can imagine the art of fiction come alive and standing in our midst, she would undoubtedly bid us to break her and bullyher, as well as honour and love her, for so her youth is renewed and her sovereignty assured.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... I doubt the capacity of the human animal for being dignified in ceremony.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I always had the deepest affection for people who carried sublime tears in their silences.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Come indoors then, and open the books on your library shelves. For you have a library and a good one. A working library, a living library a library where nothing is chained down and nothing is locked up a library where the songs of the singers rise naturally from the lives of the livers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For once the disease of reading has laid upon the system it weakens so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For we think back through our mothers if we are women.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But he could not taste, he could not feel. In the teashop among the tables and the chattering waiters the appalling fear came over him- he could not feel. He could reason he could read, Dante for example, quite easily…he could add up his bill his brain was perfect it must be the fault of the world then- that he could not feel.
Virginia Woolf

My mind works in idleness. To do nothing is often my most profitable way.
