More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.
Virginia Woolf
The proper stuff of fiction' does not exist everything is the proper stuff of fiction, every feeling, every thought every quality of brain and spirit is drawn upon no perception comes amiss.
Virginia Woolf
A thousand things to be written had I time: had I power. A very little writing uses up my capacity for writing.
Virginia Woolf
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
Virginia Woolf
The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder.
Virginia Woolf
But nothing is so strange when one is in love (and what was this except being in love?) as the complete indifference of other people.
Virginia Woolf
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
No, she thought, one could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low.
Virginia Woolf
Life without illusion is a ghostly affair.
Virginia Woolf
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.
Virginia Woolf
I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another.
Virginia Woolf
And yet, the only exciting life is the imaginary one.
Virginia Woolf
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
At last she shut the book sharply, lay back, and drew a deep breath, expressive of the wonder which always marks the transition from the imaginary world to the real world.
Virginia Woolf
Who would not spout the family teapot in order to talk with Keats for an hour about poetry, or with Jane Austen about the art of fiction?
Virginia Woolf
