More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Virginia Woolf
Women alone stir my imagination.
Virginia Woolf
For nothing was simply one thing.
Virginia Woolf
Writing is still like heaving bricks over a wall.
Virginia Woolf
Thinking is my fighting.
Virginia Woolf
women have always been poor, not for two hundred years merely, but from the beginning of time. ... Women, then, have not had a dog's chance of writing poetry. That is why I have laid so much stress on money and a room of one's own.
Virginia Woolf
We [women] have borne and bred and washed and taught, perhaps to the age of six or seven years, the one thousand six hundred and twenty-three million human beings who are, according to statistics, at present in existence, and that ... takes time.
Virginia Woolf
...she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.
Virginia Woolf
To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze.
Virginia Woolf
Now, aged 50, I'm just poised to shoot forth quite free straight and undeflected my bolts whatever they are.
Virginia Woolf
Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost. Life would split asunder without them. 'Come to tea, come to dinner, what's the truth of the story? have you heard the news? life in the capital is wonderful the Russian dancers....' These are our stays and props. These lace our days together and make of life a perfect globe.
Virginia Woolf
It seems as if an age of genius must be succeeded by an age of endeavour riot and extravagance by cleanliness and hard work.
Virginia Woolf
It was a miserable machine, an inefficient machine, she thought, the human apparatus for painting or for feeling it always broke down at the critical moment heroically, one must force it on.
Virginia Woolf
I enjoy the spring more than the autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older.
Virginia Woolf
How lovely goodness is in those who, stepping lightly, go smiling through the world.
Virginia Woolf
And now more than anything I want beautiful prose. I relish it more and more exquisitely.
Virginia Woolf
You have a touch in letter writing that is beyond me. Something unexpected, like coming round a corner in a rose garden and finding it still daylight.
Virginia Woolf
Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?
Virginia Woolf
As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.
Virginia Woolf
For pleasure has no relish unless we share it.
Virginia Woolf
