More quotes by Virginia Woolf
Truth had run through my fingers. Every drop had escaped.
Virginia Woolf
Have you any notion how many books are written about women in the course of one year? Have you any notion how many are written by men? Are you aware that you are, perhaps, the most discussed animal in the universe?
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Intellectual freedom depends upon material things.
Virginia Woolf
The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia Woolf
The weather varies between heavy fog and pale sunshine My thoughts follow the exact same process.
Virginia Woolf
How much better is silence the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
There was no treachery too base for the world to commit.
Virginia Woolf
The world has raised its whip where will it descend?
Virginia Woolf
Life stand still here.
Virginia Woolf
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Virginia Woolf
Life without illusion is a ghostly affair.
Virginia Woolf
I mean it's the writing, not the being read, that excites me.
Virginia Woolf
She began framing the words of her telegram into a senseless singsong so that several park keepers looked at her with suspicion and were only brought to a favourable opinion of her sanity by noticing the pearl necklace which she wore.
Virginia Woolf
What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know ... I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.
Virginia Woolf
It is a thousand pities never to say what one feels.
Virginia Woolf
Intimacy is a difficult art.
Virginia Woolf
He called her a melon, a pineapple, an olive tree, an emerald, and a fox in the snow all in the space of three seconds he did not know whether he had heard her, tasted her, seen her, or all three together.
Virginia Woolf
Language is wine upon the lips.
Virginia Woolf
