More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
Women have sat indoors all these millions of years, so that by this time the very walls are permeated by their creative force, which has, indeed, so overcharged the capacity of bricks and mortar that it must needs harness itself to pens and brushes and business and politics.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But what is more to the point is my belief that the habit of writing thus for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Never mind the misses and the stumbles.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I like to have space to spread my mind out in.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You cannot cross the narrow bridge of art carrying all its tools in your hands. Some you must leave behind.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You have a touch in letter writing that is beyond me. Something unexpected, like coming round a corner in a rose garden and finding it still daylight.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
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
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
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
Love ought to stop on both sides, don’t you think, simultaneously?’ He spoke without any stress on the words, so as not to wake the sleepers. ‘But it won’t - that’s the devil,’ he added in the same undertone.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have sought happiness through many ages and not found it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To be nothing - is that not, after all, the most satisfactory fact in the whole world?
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
One should aim, seriously, at disregarding ups and downs a compliment here, silence there ... the central fact remains stable, which is the fact of my own pleasure in the art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To make ideas effective, we must be able to fire them off. We must put them into action.

Thinking is my fighting.
