More quotes by Virginia Woolf
And the poem, I think, is only your voice speaking.
Virginia Woolf
It is a thousand pities never to say what one feels.
Virginia Woolf
And now more than anything I want beautiful prose. I relish it more and more exquisitely.
Virginia Woolf
All artists need a room of their own
Virginia Woolf
When an arguer argues dispassionately he thinks only of the argument.
Virginia Woolf
It was a silly, silly dream, being unhappy.
Virginia Woolf
A good essay must have this permanent quality about it it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
Virginia Woolf
Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.
Virginia Woolf
It is worth mentioning, for future reference, that the creative power which bubbles so pleasantly in beginning a new book quiets down after a time, and one goes on more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
Virginia Woolf
To sit and contemplate - to remember the faces of women without desire, to be pleased by the great deeds of men without envy, to be everything and everywhere in sympathy and yet content to remain where and what you are.
Virginia Woolf
What is this terror? what is this ecstasy? he thought to himself. What is it that fills me with this extraordinary excitement? It is Clarissa, he said. For there she was.
Virginia Woolf
For books continue each other, in spite of our habit of judging them separately.
Virginia Woolf
I enjoy almost everything. Yet I have some restless searcher in me. Why is there not a discovery in life? Something one can lay hands on and say “This is it”? My depression is a harassed feeling. I’m looking: but that’s not it — that’s not it. What is it? And shall I die before I find it?
Virginia Woolf
The proper stuff of fiction' does not exist everything is the proper stuff of fiction, every feeling, every thought every quality of brain and spirit is drawn upon no perception comes amiss.
Virginia Woolf
writing is the profound pleasure and being read the superficial.
Virginia Woolf
I press to my centre, and find there is something there.
Virginia Woolf
We must reconcile ourselves to a season of failures and fragments.
Virginia Woolf
I read the book of Job last night, I don't think God comes out well in it.
Virginia Woolf
It would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare.
Virginia Woolf
I am to be broken. I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.
Virginia Woolf
