More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls.
Virginia Woolf
It was the intimacy, a sort of spiritual suppleness, when mind prints upon mind indelibly.
Virginia Woolf
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
One should be a painter. As a writer, I feel the beauty, which is almost entirely colour, very subtle, very changeable, running over my pen, as if you poured a large jug of champagne over a hairpin.
Virginia Woolf
I ride rough waters, and shall sink with no one to save me.
Virginia Woolf
Humor is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue.
Virginia Woolf
Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.
Virginia Woolf
Life's bare as a bone.
Virginia Woolf
And the poem, I think, is only your voice speaking.
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
A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.
Virginia Woolf
We scarcely wish to analyse what we feel to be so large and deeply human.
Virginia Woolf
Above all you must illumine your own soul with its profundities and its shallows, and its vanities and its generosities, and say what your beauty means to you or your plainness, and what is your relation to the ever-changing and turning world.
Virginia Woolf
For we think back through our mothers if we are women.
Virginia Woolf
Of course, literature is the only spiritual and humane career. Even painting tends to dumness, and music turns people erotic, whereas the more you write the nicer you become.
Virginia Woolf
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
After all, what is a lovely phrase? One that has mopped up as much Truth as it can hold.
Virginia Woolf
Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own. Above all be pure
Virginia Woolf
Criticism? An artist wants praise. Praise.
Virginia Woolf
She began framing the words of her telegram into a senseless singsong so that several park keepers looked at her with suspicion and were only brought to a favourable opinion of her sanity by noticing the pearl necklace which she wore.
