Fear no more, says the heart.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Without self awareness we are as babies in the cradles.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Submit to me. So she said nothing, but looked doggedly and sadly at the shore, wrapped in its mantle of peace as if the people there had fallen alseep, she thought were free like smoke, were free to come and go like ghosts. They have no suffering there, she thought.

To love makes one solitary.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One can only believe entirely, perhaps, in what one cannot see.
Virginia Woolf

I am volatile for one, rigid for another, angular as an icicle in silver, or voluptuous as a candle flame in gold.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Death is woven in with the violets,” said Louis. “Death and again death.”)
Virginia Woolf
Image
I was so pleased and excited by your letter that I trotted about all day like a puppy with a bone.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats - and one always secretes too much jelly.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
Image

As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
Virginia Woolf
Image

Virginia Woolf
Image
But what a little I can get down into my pen of what is so vivid to my eyes, and not only to my eyes also to some nervous fibre, or fanlike membrane in my species.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Lines slip easily down the accustomed grooves. The old designs are copied so glibly that we are half inclined to think them original, save for that very glibness.
Virginia Woolf
Image
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Virginia Woolf
Image
old emotions like old families have intermarried and have many connections.
Virginia Woolf
Image
This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The world was going on as usual. All the time she was writing the world had continued.
