More quotes by Virginia Woolf
every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works, yet we require critics to explain the one and biographers to expound the other. That time hangs heavy on people's hands is the only explanation of the monstrous growth.
Virginia Woolf
Those comfortably padded lunatic asylums which are known, euphemistically, as the stately homes of England.
Virginia Woolf
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.
Virginia Woolf
What could be more serious than the love of man for woman, what more commanding, more impressive, bearing in its bosom the seeds of death at the same time these lovers, these people entering into illusion glittering eyed, must be danced round with mockery, decorated with garlands.
Virginia Woolf
Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, and ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.
Virginia Woolf
Neither of us knows what the public will think. There's no doubt in my mind that I have found out how to begin (at forty) to say something in my own voice and that interests me so that I feel I can go ahead without praise.
Virginia Woolf
How far do our feelings take their colour from the dive underground? I mean, what is the reality of any feeling?
Virginia Woolf
There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them.
Virginia Woolf
We shall be the mouthpieces of the divine spirit—
Virginia Woolf
I spent an hour looking at pots and carpets in the museums the other day, until the desire to describe them became like the desire for the lusts of the flesh.
Virginia Woolf
For it is probable that when people talk aloud, the selves (of which there may be more than two thousand) are conscious of disserverment, and are trying to communicate but when communication is established there is nothing more to be said.
Virginia Woolf
One likes people much better when they're battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.
Virginia Woolf
I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful.
Virginia Woolf
Language is wine upon the lips.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing shakes my opinion of a book. Nothing -- nothing. Only perhaps if it's the book of a young person -- or of a friend -- no, even so, I think myself infallible.
Virginia Woolf
The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.
Virginia Woolf
Facts must be manipulated some must be brightened others shaded yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
Virginia Woolf
Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing.
Virginia Woolf
They came to her, naturally, since she was a woman, all day long with this and that one wanting this, another that the children were growing up she often felt she was nothing but a sponge sopped full of human emotions.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
