More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I will not be famous, great. I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one's self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.
Virginia Woolf
She felt... how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.
Virginia Woolf
On or about December 1910, human character changed.
Virginia Woolf
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Virginia Woolf
Books are the mirrors of the soul.
Virginia Woolf
First a warning, musical then the hour, irrevocable. The leaden circles dissolved in the air.
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
Safe! safe! safe!' the pulse of the house beats wildly. Waking, I cry 'Oh, is this your buried treasure? The light in the heart.
Virginia Woolf
In the 18th century we knew how everything was done, but here I rise through the air, I listen to voices in America, I see men flying- but how is it done? I can't even begin to wonder. So my belief in magic returns.
Virginia Woolf
King old ladies assure us that cats are often the best judges of character. A cat will always to to a good man, they say.
Virginia Woolf
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
And when we are writing the life of a woman, we may, it is agreed, waive our demand for action, and substitute love instead. Love, the poet has said, is a woman's whole existence.
Virginia Woolf
The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.
Virginia Woolf
There is the strange power we have of changing facts by the force of the imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Life's bare as a bone.
Virginia Woolf
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Virginia Woolf
The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.
Virginia Woolf
So the days pass, and I ask myself whether one is not hypnotized, as a child by a silver globe, by life, and whether this is living.
Virginia Woolf
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
He lay on his chair with his hands clasped above his paunch not reading, or sleeping, but basking like a creature gorged with existence.
Virginia Woolf
