Quote

Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes. Any help we can give you must be different from that you can give yourselves, and perhaps the value of that help may lie in the fact of that difference.

More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
The artist after all is a solitary being.
Virginia Woolf
Image
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Let it be fact, one feels, or let it be fiction the imagination will not serve under two masters simultaneously.
Virginia Woolf
Image
There was a star riding through clouds one night, & I said to the star, 'Consume me'.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To admit authorities, however heavily furred and gowned, into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read, what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom which is the breath of those sanctuaries.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It seemed to her such nonsense-inventing differences, when people, heaven knows, were different enough without that.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Jealousy ... survives every other passion of mankind.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Life piles up so fast that I have no time to write out the equally fast rising mound of reflections.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Ruin, weariness, death, perpetually death, stand grimly to confront the other presence of Elizabethan drama which is life: life compact of frigates, fir trees and ivory, of dolphins and the juice of July flowers, of the milk of unicorns and panthers’ breath, of ropes of pearl, brains of peacocks and Cretan wine.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Language is wine upon the lips.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Never did anybody look so sad. Bitter and black, halfway down, in the darkness, in the shaft which ran from the sunlight to the depths, perhaps a tear formed a tear fell the waves swayed this way and that, received it, and were at rest. Never did anybody look so sad.
Virginia Woolf
Image
But nevertheless, the fact remained, it was almost impossible to dislike anyone if one looked at them.
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
I like people to be unhappy because I like them to have souls.
Virginia Woolf
Image
My mind works in idleness. To do nothing is often my most profitable way.
Virginia Woolf
Image
He smiled the most exquisite smile, veiled by memory, tinged by dreams.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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.
