Image
London perpetually attracts, stimulates, gives me a play and a story and a poem, without any trouble, save that of moving my legs through the streets... To walk alone through London is the greatest rest.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There was a serenity about him always that had the look of innocence, when, technically, the word was no longer applicable.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But I pine in Solitude. Solitude is my undoing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have had my vision.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes
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
I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.
Virginia Woolf
Image
For it is probable that when people talk aloud, the selves (of which there may be more than two thousand) are conscious of disserverment, and are trying to communicate but when communication is established there is nothing more to be said.
Virginia Woolf
Image
We live in constant danger of coming apart. The mystery of why we do not always come apart is the animating tension of all art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Yield to that strange passion which sends you madly whirling round the room.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why have I so little control? It is the case of much waste and pain in my life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The intellect, divine as it is, and all worshipful, has a habit of lodging in the most seedy of carcasses, and often, alas, acts the cannibal among the other faculties so that often, where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One should aim, seriously, at disregarding ups and downs a compliment here, silence there ... the central fact remains stable, which is the fact of my own pleasure in the art.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I have lost friends, some by death...others by sheer inability to cross the street.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But what is more to the point is my belief that the habit of writing thus for my own eye only is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Never mind the misses and the stumbles.
