The chief glory of a woman is not to be talked of, said Pericles, himself a much-talked-of-man.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf
With her foot on the threshold she waited a moment longer in a scene which was vanishing even as she looked, and then, as she moved and took Minta's arm and left the room, it changed, it shaped itself differently it had become, she knew, giving one last look at it over her shoulder, already the past.
Virginia Woolf
The hatchet must fall on the block the oak must be cleft to the centre. The weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here is the pen and the paper on the letters in the wire basket I sign my name, I, I, and again I.
Virginia Woolf
The mind must be allowed to settle undisturbed over the object in order to secrete the pearl.
Virginia Woolf
The truth is, I often like women. I like their unconventionality. I like their completeness. I like their anonymity.
Virginia Woolf
Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having.
Virginia Woolf
Tell me, he wanted to say, everything in the whole world - for he had the wildest, most absurd, extravagant ideas about poets and poetry - but how to speak to a man who does not see you? who sees ogres, satyrs, perhaps the depth of the sea instead?
Virginia Woolf
No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes
Virginia Woolf
In illness words seem to possess a mystic quality.
Virginia Woolf
Life would split apart without letters.
Virginia Woolf
To love makes one solitary.
Virginia Woolf
But I think I’m coloured by my own wishes, & experimental mood.
Virginia Woolf
Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Virginia Woolf
The older one grows, the more one likes indecency.
Virginia Woolf
Books are the mirrors of the soul.
Virginia Woolf
But I beneath a rougher sea, And whelmed in deeper gulfs than he.
Virginia Woolf
... 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
So I have to create the whole thing afresh for myself each time. Probably all writers now are in the same boat. It is the penalty we pay for breaking with tradition, and the solitude makes the writing more exciting though the being read less so. One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with ones words.
Virginia Woolf
Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious the best prose is that which is most full of poetry.
Virginia Woolf
... it's been a perpetual discovery, my life. A miracle.
Virginia Woolf
Life for both sexes is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. More than anything... it calls for confidence in oneself...And how can we generate this imponderable quality most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
Virginia Woolf
