More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
You cannot lecture on really pure poetry any more than you can talk about the ingredients of pure water-it is adulterated, methylated, sanded poetry that makes the best lectures.
Virginia Woolf
Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.
Virginia Woolf
Whatever may be their use in civilized societies, mirrors are essential to all violent and heroic action.
Virginia Woolf
Moments like this are buds on the tree of life. Flowers of darkness they are.
Virginia Woolf
fishing teaches a stern morality inculcates a remorseless honesty.
Virginia Woolf
There was a serenity about him always that had the look of innocence, when, technically, the word was no longer applicable.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing is stronger than the position of the dead among the living.
Virginia Woolf
The spring without a leaf to toss, bare and bright like a virgin fierce in her chastity, scornful in her purity, was laid out on fields wide-eyed and watchful and entirely careless of what was done or thought by the beholders.
Virginia Woolf
A light here required a shadow there.
Virginia Woolf
Come indoors then, and open the books on your library shelves. For you have a library and a good one. A working library, a living library a library where nothing is chained down and nothing is locked up a library where the songs of the singers rise naturally from the lives of the livers.
Virginia Woolf
You have been in every way all that anyone could be.... If anybody could have saved me it would have been you.
Virginia Woolf
It was the intimacy, a sort of spiritual suppleness, when mind prints upon mind indelibly.
Virginia Woolf
For once the disease of reading has laid upon the system it weakens so that it falls an easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing.
Virginia Woolf
Well, we must wait for the future to show.
Virginia Woolf
We scarcely wish to analyse what we feel to be so large and deeply human.
Virginia Woolf
With her foot on the threshold she waited a moment longer in a scene which was vanishing even as she looked, and then, as she moved and took Minta's arm and left the room, it changed, it shaped itself differently it had become, she knew, giving one last look at it over her shoulder, already the past.
Virginia Woolf
Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.
Virginia Woolf
So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again.
Virginia Woolf
No one would think of bringing a dog into church. For though a dog is all very well on a gravel path, and shows no disrespect to flowers, the way he wanders down an aisle, looking, lifting a paw, and approaching a pillar with a purpose that makes the blood run cold with horror ... a dog destroys the service completely.
Virginia Woolf
