More quotes by Virginia Woolf
I feel certain that I'm going mad again, I feel we can't go thru another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices
Virginia Woolf
It seemed to her such nonsense-inventing differences, when people, heaven knows, were different enough without that.
Virginia Woolf
It is a thousand pities never to say what one feels.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
Books should stand on their own feet ... If they need shoring up by a preface here, an introduction there, they have no more right to exist than a table that needs a wad of paper under one leg in order to stand steady.
Virginia Woolf
My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.
Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf
And yet, the only exciting life is the imaginary one.
Virginia Woolf
We shall be the mouthpieces of the divine spirit—
Virginia Woolf
To let oneself be carried on passively is unthinkable.
Virginia Woolf
Life would split apart without letters.
Virginia Woolf
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
Oh, I am in love with life!
Virginia Woolf
There is a sadness at the back of life which some people do not attempt to mitigate. Entirely aware of their own standing in the shadow, and yet alive to every tremor and gleam of existence, there they endure.
Virginia Woolf
Let it be fact, one feels, or let it be fiction the imagination will not serve under two masters simultaneously.
Virginia Woolf
The weight of the world is on our shoulders, its vision is through our eyes if we blink or look aside, or turn back to finger what Plato said or remember Napoleon and his conquests, we inflict on the world the injury of some obliquity. This is life.
Virginia Woolf
The truer the facts the better the fiction.
Virginia Woolf
I like going from one lighted room to another, such is my brain to me lighted rooms.
Virginia Woolf
