Quote

For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think well not even to think. To be silent to be alone.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
Writing is still like heaving bricks over a wall.
Virginia Woolf
Image
War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We insist, it seems, on living.
Virginia Woolf
Image
it is strange how the dead leap out on us at street corners, or in dreams
Virginia Woolf
Image
Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes. Any help we can give you must be different from that you can give yourselves, and perhaps the value of that help may lie in the fact of that difference.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The truer the facts the better the fiction.
Virginia Woolf
Image
How far we are going to read a poet when we can read about a poet is a problem to lay before biographers.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
As nobody can possibly tell me whether one's writing is bad or good, the only certain value is one's own pleasure. I am sure of that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women have burnt like beacons in all the works of all the poets from the beginning of time.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For books continue each other, in spite of our habit of judging them separately.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Would there be trees if we didn't see them?
Virginia Woolf
Image
If we didn't live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes
Virginia Woolf
Image
I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost. Life would split asunder without them. 'Come to tea, come to dinner, what's the truth of the story? have you heard the news? life in the capital is wonderful the Russian dancers....' These are our stays and props. These lace our days together and make of life a perfect globe.
Virginia Woolf

Consolation for those moments when you can't tell whether you're the divinest genius or the greatest fool in the world.
