More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Her life-that was the only chance she had-the short season between two silences.
Virginia Woolf
Happily, at forty-six I still feel as experimental and on the verge of getting at the truth as ever.
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
All extremes are dangerous.
Virginia Woolf
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing, I know, had any chance against death.
Virginia Woolf
Doesn't one always think of the past, in a garden with men and women lying under the trees? Aren't they one's past, all that remains of it, those men and women, those ghosts lying under the trees ... one's happiness, one's reality?
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.
Virginia Woolf
I have had my vision.
Virginia Woolf
I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls.
Virginia Woolf
He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.
Virginia Woolf
To read a novel is a difficult and complex art.
Virginia Woolf
Our apparitions, the things you know us by, are simply childish. Beneath it is all dark, it is all spreading, it is unfathomably deep but now and again we rise to the surface and that is what you see us by.
Virginia Woolf
What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark here was one.
Virginia Woolf
I was so pleased and excited by your letter that I trotted about all day like a puppy with a bone.
Virginia Woolf
A sort of transaction went on between them, in which she was on one side, and life was on another, and she was always trying to get the better of it, as it was of her.
Virginia Woolf
My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.
Virginia Woolf
madam, the man cried, leaping to the ground, you're hurt! I'm dead, sir! she replied. A few minutes later, they became engaged.
