More quotes by Virginia Woolf

Image
I am obsessed at nights with the idea of my own worthlessness, and if it were only to turn a light on to save my life I think I would not do it. These are the last footprints of a headache I suppose. Do you ever feel that? - like an old weed in a stream. What do you feel, lying in bed?
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
But the close withdrew: the hand softened. It was over-- the moment.
Virginia Woolf

Moreover, a book is not made of sentences laid end to end, but of sentences built, if an image helps, into arcades or domes.
Virginia Woolf
Image
It is equally vain,” she thought, “for you to think you can protect me, or for me to think I can worship you. The light of truth beats upon us without shadow, and the light of truth is damnably unbecoming to us both.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.
Virginia Woolf
Image
The world wavered and quivered and threatened to burst into flames.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am tied down with single words. But you wander off you slip away you rise up higher, with words and words in phrases.
Virginia Woolf
Image
... it's been a perpetual discovery, my life. A miracle.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No passion is stronger in the breast of a man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his happiness and fills him with rage as the sense that another rates low what he prizes high.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Sometimes I think heaven must be one continuous unexhausted reading.
Virginia Woolf
Image
I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.
Virginia Woolf

War is not women's history.
Virginia Woolf
Image
To be nothing - is that not, after all, the most satisfactory fact in the whole world?
Virginia Woolf
Image
Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
Virginia Woolf
Image
For love... has two faces one white, the other black two bodies one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together
Virginia Woolf
Image
She thought there were no Gods no one was to blame and so she evolved this atheist's religion of doing good for the sake of goodness.
Virginia Woolf

Clothes are but a symbol of something hid deep beneath.
Virginia Woolf

If people are highly successful in their profession they lose their senses. Sight goes. They have no time to look at pictures. Sound goes. They have no time to listen to music. Speech goes. They have no time for conversation. They lose their sense of proportion.
