Image
Life piles up so fast that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let it be fact, one feels, or let it be fiction the imagination will not serve under two masters simultaneously.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He was a thorough good sort a bit limited a bit thick in the head yes but a thorough good sort. Whatever he took up he did in the same matter-of-fact sensible way without a touch of imagination, without a sparkle of brilliancy, but with the inexplicable niceness of his type.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I see nothing. We may sink and settle on the waves. The sea will drum in my ears. The white petals will be darkened with sea water. They will float for a moment and then sink. Rolling over the waves will shoulder me under. Everything falls in a tremendous shower, dissolving me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Whenever you see a board up with Trespassers will be prosecuted, trespass at once.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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.

Soup is cuisines kindest course
Virginia Woolf
Image
Publicity in women is detestable. Anonymity runs in their blood. The desire to be veiled still possesses them. They are not even now as concerned about the health of their fame as men are, and, speaking generally, will pass a tombstone or a signpost without feeling an irresistible desire to cut their names on it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It doesn't have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down.
Virginia Woolf
Image
And yet, the only exciting life is the imaginary one.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The weather varies between heavy fog and pale sunshine My thoughts follow the exact same process.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is probable that both in life and in art the values of a woman are not the values of a man.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is from the middle class that writers spring, because, it is in the middle class only that the practice of writing is as natural and habitual as hoeing a field or building a house.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But why do I notice everything? She thought. Why must I think? She did not want to think. She wanted to force her mind to become a blank and lie back, and accept quietly, tolerantly, whatever came.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I believe that the main thing in beginning a novel is to feel, not that you can write it, but that it exists on the far side of a gulf, which words can't cross: that it's to be pulled through only in a breathless anguish.

... why do people who live in the country always give themselves such airs?
