Tom's great yellow bronze mask all draped upon an iron framework. An inhibited, nerve-drawn dropped face - as if hung on a scaffold of heavy private brooding and thought.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf
They all dreamt of each other that night, as was natural, considering how thin the partitions were between them, and how strangely they had been lifted off the earth to sit next each other in mid-ocean, and see every detail of each others' faces, and hear whatever they chanced to say.
Virginia Woolf
As an experience, madness is terrific ... and in its lava I still find most of the things I write about.
Virginia Woolf
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Virginia Woolf
Why have I so little control? It is the case of much waste and pain in my life.
Virginia Woolf
If we help an educated man's daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? - not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?
Virginia Woolf
I worship you, but I loathe marriage. I hate its smugness, its safety, its compromise and the thought of you interfering with my work, hindering me what would you answer?
Virginia Woolf
How much better is silence the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.
Virginia Woolf
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Virginia Woolf
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf
I mean it's the writing, not the being read, that excites me.
Virginia Woolf
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.
Virginia Woolf
[Ulysses is] the work of a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples.
Virginia Woolf
There was a day when I liked writing letters -- it has gone. Unfortunately the passion for getting them remains.
Virginia Woolf
Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover seeds of truth.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.
Virginia Woolf
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
Virginia Woolf
I press to my centre, and find there is something there.
Virginia Woolf
Death is woven in with the violets,” said Louis. “Death and again death.”)
Virginia Woolf
The real novelist, the perfectly simple human being, could go on, indefinitely imaging.
Virginia Woolf
It might be possible that the world itself is without meaning.
Virginia Woolf
