Words belong to each other.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I always had the deepest affection for people who carried sublime tears in their silences.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It doesn't have to be the truth, just your vision of it, written down.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Then may I tell you that the very next words I read were these – ‘Chloe liked Olivia…’ Do not start. Do not blush. Let us admit in the privacy of our own society that these things sometimes happen. Sometimes women do like women.
Virginia Woolf
Image
[Ulysses is] the work of a queasy undergraduate scratching his pimples.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Nothing thicker than a knife's blade separates happiness from melancholy.
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
Image
It was a silly, silly dream, being unhappy.
Virginia Woolf

I grow numb I grow stiff. How shall I break up this numbness which discredits my sympathetic heart?
Virginia Woolf
Image
You send a boy to school in order to make friends - the right sort.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Writing is a divine art, and the more I write and read the more I love it.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Really I don't like human nature unless all candied over with art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole. This wholeness means that it has lost its power to hurt me it gives me, perhaps because by doing so I take away the pain, a great delight to put the severed parts together
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
I want some one to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarreling and reconciliation I need privacy--to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why, if it was an illusion, not praise the catastrophe, whatever it was, that destroyed illusion and put truth in it's place?
Virginia Woolf
Image
To be silent to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others.
Virginia Woolf
